scruffters 29 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Anybody looked at the little DLINK 1510-20? I've just installed one.. seems like a nice unit, paired with a StarTech 10G card. Its budget kit, but I figured I'd add this to the convo.

The DGS-1510-28X may be just what I am looking for! Link to post Share on other sites
Trig0r 211 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 What about the HP 2530-8 or the Cisco SG300-10? Link to post Share on other sites
scruffters 29 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 No problem schoondoggy. These are surprisingly quiet and low power. The management interface is intuitive (standard drink really).. they also seem to support a bunch of layer2/3 functions. I've used a number of bigger Netgear XS series units before, also cheap quanta LB4 CX4 class stuff from eBay, but I think the little DLINK is really quite a neat unit for cheap 10G scenarios. No benchmarking done yet, but I expect it to do pretty well in most scenarios. PS. There is also a fanless MikroTik CRS226-24G-2S+RM.. but I think the DLINK is probably a more polished/ product.

LoneWolf 157 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 What about the HP 2530-8 or the Cisco SG300-10? I'm using the SG300-10MPP myself, but I don't believe there's a version that does 10Gbe, unless it's at the upper-end (like maybe the 52-port model of the SG300). But it does have SFP ports for optional gig fiber. Link to post Share on other sites
Trig0r 211 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I've not checked the full specs on either tbh, just a quick 30 second glance... Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 436 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 You guys must be reading my mind! I've been thinking about this gear as some backaul links here in HSS HQ. Keep chatting and testing! Be prepared to come on HSS Podcast to discuss too! Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to need some more commissions to afford switches like this. And this is low end! http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-Systems-SmartPro-Stackable-DGS-1510-20/dp/B00H554JL4/ Link to post Share on other sites
schoondoggy 902 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Although it is close to $1000, the HP 1950 has twenty four 1Gb ports and four 10Gb ports (two RJ45 and two SFP+) http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/networking-switches/product-detail.html?oid=6887535 You guys must be reading my mind!

Switch to switch? Link to post Share on other sites
xcom 2 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I use it on a an everyday bases... 10GigE Extreme Summit X670 Stacked. Extreme DAC. LACP on all servers. Very inexpensive solution. BUT after they got bought out their quality sucks. Looking in to moving to Brocade. Link to post Share on other sites
