Recommend me a switch for home use...

[Gerr]

My switch is acting up, so need a replacement.  These are the specs I would like.

 

16-24 Gigabit ports (prefer 24 as 16 cuts it close.  I could do 48, but don't need that many)

Supports VLANS

Supports LACP (I have 2 servers with 2 NIC's each)

Supports POE on at least 4 ports (both 48v & 24v would be ideal, but I can buy an adapter for the 24v if only 48v)

Runs quiet and/or can replace fans with quiet versions

$150 or under, don't mind used

 

Right now, have my eye on either the Netgear GS728TP or GS516TP switches, but those are hard to find within my price range.  I am Cisco certified, so full Cisco switches are an option, but those are also usually out of my price range.  Any other recommendations?

That switch isn't managed, so no vlans, no lacp, no poe.

[NoobCase]

That's a lot of features for a 150USD switch it seems. Think you kind of have to go used.

This might be something http://m.ebay.com/itm/UBIQUITI-24-PORT-MANAGED-POE-SWITCH-US-24-500W-NEW-IN-BOX-/192176168352?hash=item2cbe979da0%3Ag%3AI7kAAOSwONBZCUl6&_trkparms=pageci%3Aa8ebb2dc-30f1-11e7-961a-74dbd180c464%7Cparentrq%3Ad4925d8615b0ab4cd14aab28fffe6534%7Ciid%3A7

 

bit over budget but think it's a pretty good deal at that price

[Gerr]

I figured as much, which is why I said I don't mind used.

Go on eBay and look for some managed switch, plenty of Allied Telesyn , Netgear etc 24-48 switches.

 

Or go on sites like WebHostingTalk where datacenter people sometimes sell their older equipment -

 

Here's an example : http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1644724

Cisco 4948-10GE - $250 ea, have 7 in stock, take all 7 take em for $225 a pop.
Cisco 2960G-24TC-L - $85 ea OBO, including RM ears, have 9 in stock

Remember, for home use, so don't want it loud and don't want it sucking a lot of juice.  For those reasons, not looking at Cisco, at least not yet.

 

Found something that might work...Dell X1018P, and get it new for around $150.

What do you think of this one?

[Gerr]

Those ports are only 10/100 with two 1000 uplink ports.  I need ALL ports 10/100/1000.

You said you're willing to replace fans , so if the price is right replacing a couple of fans shouldn't be that much of a big deal.

 

A 24 port gigabit switch for 85$ shipping included with all those features a Cisco would have seems like a good enough price to me, and power consumption shouldn't be that much (the pictures say the switch can be powered with 12v DC up to 10.5A so I guess it may use up to 120 watts, but i sincerely doubt it uses more than 50 watts with just a few ports used).

[Gerr]

ya, I am willing to replace fans, but it's a PITA and would prefer if I didn't have to.  Also, I don't think those 2960G switches have PoE.

Weirdly I need a new switch to replace my home switch as well.  Is this a passively cooled one or fan cooled? 

 

Edit:  It has fans dosent it? 

[AJJaxNet]

The problem is that those kind of switch usually are towards business use and not home use, so they will all have some loud fans in some extend. I had some Nedgear POE switches that were not really noisy but all managed 24 port switches with POE will make noice when running.

 

I would suggest waiting for a good deal on the GS728TP since it has pretty much everything you want and it sometimes goes for your targeted budget.

Well if second hand is an option and you live in the USA then as a Cisco person you should already know what to look for. 

Get yourself a lovely 3560g/3750g with poe or 3560e/3750e with poe, you will have all your boxes ticked and be withing budget.

What's the difference on the g and e models?

g = Gigabit

No... If you dont know the difference then dont post... 

G is indeed gigabit but E is i have no idea what it stands for but it comes with 2 10gig ports. You might want to look at the cisco datasheets for these switches. 

They are not at all loud, both g and e switches are damn silent... I used to some noise but having these switches next to me is no issue.

Sorry, I should have checked the datasheet before posting literaly less than a minute after his question. I though it was like the Netgear switches with the Configuration Letter E-G-T for one moment, but these represents whole series for cisco.

Take a look at the Cisco Small Business Range. The SG300 series are 1gb switches with management. You should be able to pick up one on them on ebay for your budget and they have speed controlled fans. They have both WebGUI and Console. Its a almost cisco CLI, close enough so that you will feel right at home.

passively cooled says on the page

[mineblaster]

i got recomended this awhile ago it has no fans in it and has two 10gbe sfps but it dose cost more and i never really used the mangement on it .it serverd me well as a dumb switch but it might be the switch for you.

You could also go with a Cisco switch but you would need to learn the IOS if you don't already know it.

[Not_Sean]

I've always had a great time with the HP ProCurves but I have to ask, The hell you running in your house that not only you need 24 ports but also PoE ports ?!
