Arista.


You pay, install them, they work. But there might be lead times...



You can also do cheaper depending on what you really need:

 https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2022/12/09/oem-switch-2.html
or
 https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2021/08/07/fs-switch.html


Pim can prolly help you get those ;)

Greets,
 Jeroen

Hi Matthias,

at the University of Bern, we are replacing our current 
Enterasys/Extreme/Brocade/Ruckus gear by Extreme Network models. For 
core/distribution/ToR, we opted for the 7400 and 5520 series with VOSS (Fabric 
engine) and so far, we are quite happy with the choice. The 5520-24x could fit 
your requirements - 10G copper is feasible with copper plugins. (max. 50% of 
copper plugins supported due to heat discipation) BTW, we use a mix of 
„original“ and Fexoptix plugins.

Hope this helps - otherwise feel free to give me a call.

Cheers,
Philipp
