Brocade ICX7750-48F is a solid choice.

EX4600 is nice, but it's not cheap.  Yes, you can create a VC using the 40Gbps interfaces (or the 10Gbps interfaces).  You may consider the older EX4550 if you are trying to save money.

I'm actually looking for something similar.. I have a few of the CRS317-1G-16S+RM in stock, but tbh, I'm a little scared to use them, and I'm also not looking forward to the miserable L2 config on CRS.  I really just need 4-6 SFP+ interfaces for this particular application.

The Cisco Nexus 3064 is another cheap/old option, but seems to work fine for L2 access (servers, etc).

Lots of 10gig SFP+

I just eyeballed the Juniper EX4600.  Wondering if I can stack chassis using the 40gig ports.

For the moment just L2: VLAN, ethertype filter, port isolation.....standard stuff.

I'm assuming Juniper has software for central management?  I poo-poo'd that stuff for a long time, but try to push one change out to 300 Mikrotiks and spending $10k on management software starts to look attractive all of a sudden.

What featureset do you need?  Just L2?  Any L3 features?

Juniper EX is my go-to for most applications.

So who's your preferred vendor for carrier switches?

Suppose you want to break away from buggy Latvian switches, who would
you look at today?

Ciena? Adtran? Cisco? Juniper?
