Had it for 2 years now... it's done me well, but I think it's time to move to a newer switch that makes less noise and less heat. If you all have any ideas on what's good these days for the SOHO gang, let me know.

I use 9 ports for my lab right now, would like to have 24 ports or more. I would also like the ability to run a SPAN session off the switch because that's what my $VENDOR product likes to use for gathering information.

Oh yeah, it also needs to be able to do layer 3 stuff.

Do you care if it is Cisco? 3560X would be the upgrade. If not Dell 2024 I think (don't work with Dell) may be a good solution. I don't know if it does everything you need. You could go whitebox, fs.com has some cheap switches.

How does the 3560X compare with the 3560 in terms of noise and heat? Also, how does the SG350-24 stand up in those areas?

Cisco is good, it's what's at the top of my $VENDOR compatibility list. If that Dell 2024 is a Force10 switch, then I can get it to work with $VENDOR. Juniper and HPE also have pretty broad support with my employer's product.

The 24 port 3560X is probably going to be the same noise as a 3560. There are 8 port versions that are fanless. I have heard of people pulling the fans, and faking the fan speed back to the system. I wouldn't do it.

^Need more than a year, thought of that...

How about a Cisco SG350-24? I don't need the PoE features on other devices.

No experience with the SG line. I am sure they work, but not sure of limitations. They are just big Linksys boxes. I would look at Belkin as well. I know you are certified on them.

What about something in the Ubiquiti line?  I have a friend that runs a computer business and he raves about them.

Do you really need 24 ports? There are quite a few fanless (no-noise) switches with around 12 ports.

I can do with 12 ports, sure... got some recommendations there?

Why yes, yes I am... :smug:

But I'm also looking at gear that's on the Forescout compatibility matrix. Cisco stuff is best represented there, don't think I got any Belkin on that list.
