Hello, I'm looking for a budget switch, second hand or new, which has the following:
- At least 2, preferrably 4, sfp+ ports.
- At least 2 2.5G or 10G rj45 ports.
- At least 16 1G rj45 ports.
- Under or around 300 euro.
Im in europe, so finding a nice switch used is hard. Most ship from america with loads of import tax and shipping costs.
I currently have a Mikrotik CRS326-24G-2S+RM switch, which has 24 gigabit dj45 ports and 2 sfp+ ones. This is almost enough, and I was just thinking of getting this random unmanaged switch from amazon which could meet what I want.
I have two proxmox nodes which I want to connect with sfp+ to my network, and then have 2.5G to any pc that needs to access the NAS on one of them. I would have one node connected to the Mikrotik switch, which would connect to the other switch, which would then connect to my other node, all with sfp+. Would that work?
I would take a hard look at used HP Enterprise or Cisco gear. HP 25xx series are niiiice.
