[AusNOG] 10Gb Switching - Cheap but good

[Josh Tipping]

(Distributor bias!)

Huawei S5700-28X-LI is a good option. 24x1G and 4x10G SFP+. Sell to the channel for well under $1.5k and do everything you're after. I likely have demo stock of one too if you'd like to give one a try, let me know offlist.

Cheers,

Hey all,

Was doing some lab testing and needed some cheap 10Gb SFP+ ports - so used the Mikrotik CRS210-8G-2S+IN.

What a piece of junk. The OS isn't too bad but the switch hardware can't even keep its 10Gb ports up for very long without dying with little errors. What do you expect for $300 right?

So, I am looking for a stable 10Gb (SFP+) solution... 2 ports, preferably 4 SFP+, with a stable OS that can move VLANs around simply with trunks and VLAN access supported. I don't need much super fancy, but a 1RU form factor with rack mounting would be nice. A selection of 1Gb copper ports obviously. Remote ssh (or telnet if I have to) would be appreciated - not GUI please.

I think 1k-ish would be reasonable... I don't need Cisco or Juniper...

Recommendations?
