0 Polanskiman Posted November 16, 2018 Share #3 Posted November 16, 2018 I use a Cisco SG200-08. It is not that cheap but I think it is a very good piece of equipment. It has a lifetime warranty so it is worth it and among many other functionalities it is IEEE 802.3ad compliant, meaning you can actually aggregate ports.

I could be wrong as I bought mine several years ago. If no link aggregation needed then there is a pletora of switches at all prices and most will do the job just fine.

0 flyride Posted November 16, 2018 Share #7 Posted November 16, 2018 You said you want managed. I'm running a prerelease Ubiquiti ES10X and it's a full featured L2 switch with GUI and CLI, plus a couple of SFP ports too for very little money.

0 Guest Posted November 20, 2018 Share #9 Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) I bought 3 months ago the following switch: ZyXEL GS1900-10HP, 8-Port PoE, Smart Managed Switch. At the moment it cost ~100 € in Germany. I use it for link aggregation. Edited November 20, 2018 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Hostilian Posted November 20, 2018 Share #10 Posted November 20, 2018 Look on Ebay.. You can get cheap, managed (ex-corporate) Cisco or HP switches for around £50.. Not 8 ports, generally 24 - but you'll soon outgrow 8 ports - especially if you're considering LACP.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
