[AusNOG] 10Gb Switching - Cheap but good

[Mike Everest]

Hey Skeeve!

 

Did you try any diagnostics or get support feedback on that?  I’ve seen that switch hardware work quite well when using hardware alone :-}

 

If you’d like to contact our support guys off list (support at duxtel.com <mailto:support at duxtel.com> ) I’ll be very keen to try to repro that observed behaviour then see what we can do to find some resolution :-)

 

Cheers! Mike.

Subject: [AusNOG] 10Gb Switching - Cheap but good

 

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?
