HP ProCurve 2510G-24 (J9279A) should do the trick. I've used them, they're quite nice. Should be less than $800.
If you don't need a CLI, and can live with a web interface, the ProCurve 1810G-24 (J9450A) is an option too. Should be less than $400. As someone previously stated, it's ProCurve, so it's a Lifetime Warranty. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Webster [mailto:webs...@carlwebster.com] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:ntsysad...@lyris.sunbelt-software.com] Sent: Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:27:21 -0700 Subject: Advice on switch for personal lab > Wanting to add a switch to my lab > (http://www.dabcc.com/article.aspx?id=11764).
