[AusNOG] 10Gb Switching - Cheap but good

[Skeeve Stevens]

Hi all,

Btw... I am not looking for an eBay or second hand... I am looking for new,
deployable in a DC... It just doesn't have to do a lot other than convert
between Copper 1GE and Fibre 10GE (SFP+).

Being able to take a management IP would be nice, and SSH CLI to do basic
changes.  I have got a few suggestions, but very few seem under a few K -
which is originally why I went with the Mikrotik.. I just expected them to
do their job simply... but you get what you pay for.
