I have become a big fan of Dell PowerConnect switches. At one point in
time, I would have laughed at anyone suggesting a Dell switch, but now I
actually suggest and deploy them, unless I am working in an all Cisco shop and
they insist.<br>
<br>
These are the two I use the most<br>

<br>
They can run in managed mode or simple (dumb) mode but you get all gigabit and
two fiber gigabit ports as well. The specs kick butt for the price.
No used Ebay stuff, new, full warranty, and I have had zero issues with any
that I have deployed.<br>
<br>
If you want to go higher end,<br>
<a

target="_blank">http://www.dell.com/content/products/category.aspx/poe?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd</a><br>
<br>
The pricing is still great for a new high end switch that is just as feature
rich, if not more, and easier to configure for non Cisco IOS people.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
