Hello, I’m looking for a budget switch, second hand or new, which has the following:
- At least 2, preferrably 4, sfp+ ports.
- At least 2 2.5G or 10G rj45 ports.
- At least 16 1G rj45 ports.
- Under or around 300 euro.
Im in europe, so finding a nice switch used is hard. Most ship from america with loads of import tax and shipping costs.
I currently have a Mikrotik CRS326-24G-2S+RM switch, which has 24 gigabit dj45 ports and 2 sfp+ ones. This is almost enough, and I was just thinking of getting this random unmanaged switch from amazon which could meet what I want.
I have two proxmox nodes which I want to connect with sfp+ to my network, and then have 2.5G to any pc that needs to access the NAS on one of them. I would have one node connected to the Mikrotik switch, which would connect to the other switch, which would then connect to my other node, all with sfp+. Would that work?
Have you checked out TP Link switches? Not sure if they are easy to buy in Europe, but here in the states they are a pretty budget friendly option.
I’d do a more in depth search but my signal is limited because Im traveling right now.
I am looking to buy this one when available and then combining it with another switch for 1gbit connections https://mikrotik.com/product/crs310_8g_2s_in#fndtn-downloads also this site has tested a lot of them https://www.servethehome.com/the-ultimate-cheap-2-5gbe-switch-mega-round-up-buyers-guide-qnap-netgear-hasivo-mokerlink-trendnet-zyxel-tp-link/
