[AFMUG] 8-12 SFP port non-MT switch?
I have a friend looking for a fanless 8-12 SFP cage switch/router, preferrably with a single 10G SFP uplink interface, something smaller than rack mount and not Mikrotik to mount in remote cabinets where he needs more fiber out of a single backhaul strand. Any suggestions? He’s looking at Juniper, etc. but hasn’t found a match. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
Re: [AFMUG] 8-12 SFP port non-MT switch?
ACX2200 almost fits. Only get 6 SFP + two SFP+. Fanless hardened. We use ACX1100 /1000s in cabinets. Not technically a switch but does lots of switching stuff On Wed, Feb 3, 2021 at 11:17 AM Dev wrote: > I have a friend looking for a fanless 8-12 SFP cage switch/router, > preferrably with a single 10G SFP uplink interface, something smaller than > rack mount and not Mikrotik to mount in remote cabinets where he needs more > fiber out of a single backhaul strand.

We've had pretty good luck with the Dell X4012 switch - 12 SFP+ ports, decent GUI, easy to set up with VLANs, but they aren't fanless. -Original Message- From: AF [mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com] On Behalf Of Dev Sent: Wednesday, February 03, 2021 11:17 AM To: AF@af.afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] 8-12 SFP port non-MT switch?

Re: [AFMUG] 8-12 SFP port non-MT switch?
He feels they’re flaky. My experience is that they sometimes do inexplicable things. If you get them to work they work fine, but Juniper works always basically. I have a CCR I’m fighting with port rate limiting, which is “supposed” to work but does nothing. No help on the forums besides “hey, that’s really interesting”, stuff like that. If you get MT support it costs the same as Juniper/Cisco from what I’ve found. At that point, you could just get a Juniper/Cisco. > On Feb 3, 2021, at 3:02 PM, Steve Jones wrote: > > whats the aversion to MT? we are looking for something similar and I dont > know that im comfortable with MT, but i dont have a valid reason other than > gut feeling for the distrust > > On Wed, Feb 3, 2021 at 4:47 PM Darren Shea <mailto:darr...@ecpi.com>> wrote: > We've had pretty good luck with the Dell X4012 switch - 12 SFP+ ports, decent > GUI, easy to set up with VLANs, but they aren't fanless. > > -Original Message- > From: AF [mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com <mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com>] On > Behalf Of Dev > Sent: Wednesday, February 03, 2021 11:17 AM > To: AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> > Subject: [AFMUG] 8-12 SFP port non-MT switch? > > I have a friend looking for a fanless 8-12 SFP cage switch/router, > preferrably with a single 10G SFP uplink interface, something smaller than > rack mount and not Mikrotik to mount in remote cabinets where he needs more > fiber out of a single backhaul strand.

The crs have improved quite a bit from the crs1x and crs2x flavor. The new vlan scheme is much easier to configure as well. On Wed, Feb 3, 2021, 3:41 PM Dev wrote: > He feels they’re flaky.

Re: [AFMUG] 8-12 SFP port non-MT switch?
I'll second this. I wouldn't touch CRS for years because of weird bugs and terrible L2 VLAN config. The CRS3XX switches have been pretty stable for us (*knocks on wood*) and the VLAN configuration, while completely different than Cisco/Juni EX, is leaps and bounds better than it used to be.

Re: [AFMUG] 8-12 SFP port non-MT switch?
Ill second the ACX’s and add the Cisco 920, same catergory. Site Router but can be configured as switch. More models with 4 SFP+ and 8 to 24 Gig ports. AC or DC. Check ebay for great deals.

> The CRS3XX switches have been pretty stable for us (*knocks on wood*) I can second this. I have a CRS305 with 68 weeks of uptime. On the other hand, has anybody else noticed what a dumpster fire the CSS610 is? https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=167891 I was looking into using it as a cheap 10G CPE, but likely will use the CRS305 instead.

Ciena 3930 would fit they are not necessarily fanless, but they are ETR rated and I have run them in small boxes.
