2.5K? No way. Get used or refurbished from Network Hardware or similar outl=
et. We rarely buy new. Used gear works just fine.

Subject: Managed, cheap, DC power switches
I have a need for cheap managed DC power switches for our OSS and
Monitoring (backoffice). I was wondering what everyone else have
found in this space. I am currently using Cisco 2950's, but those are
still 2.5K list and seems like too much to spend on something so
trivial.
I am looking for something with:
* Better port density (48 ports per 1U), but 24 ports would work.
* IOS like configuration (not needed, but would be nice not to
crosstrain my team) I really don't want anything that is Web only.
* CHEAP. The gear is mostly just for monitoring and big backplanes
and features are not really needed.
Thanks,
Brandon
