They are inexpensive, managed, support port mirroring, VLAN, QoS, and much more. I am probably going to get the 16 or 24 port for testing. The forwarding rates are an often overlooked spec. $202 (currently on sale) for 16 Gigabit ports is almost too good to be true for a managed switch.
I am in no way recommending this switch since I have yet to test it but I certainly will give it a try. http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/pwcnt_2716?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd 16 10/100/1000 BASE-T ports Auto-negotiation for speed, duplex mode and flow control Auto MDI/MDIX mode and flow control Integrated Port LEDs Individual port controls Performance Switching Capacity 32.0 Gbps Forwarding Rate 23.7 Mpps Management Web-based management interface BootP/DHCP IP address management or Static IP address assignment RMON statistics Class of Service Four priority queues per port Adjustable WRR and strict priority Layer 2 IEEE 802.1p tagging and port-based priority Layer 3-aware prioritization using DSCP values Security Switch access password protection (read-only and read-write access) Restricted IP address VLAN IEEE 802.1Q port-based tagging up to 64 VLANs Honors all 4096 VLAN tags Switching Features Link Aggregation, up to six groups and up to four aggregated links per group (IEEE 802.3ad) Port mirroring (up to four source ports) Jumbo frame support up to 9000 Bytes (2716 & 2724 only) Availability Firmware Uploads to the Switch Broadcast Storm Control Virtual Cable Tester by Marvell^® Optical Transceiver Diagnostics Chassis *Dimensions:* 1.70 in (H) x 12.99 in (W) x 9.07 in (D) *Height:* 1U rack *Weight:* 6.16 lbs *Voltage:* 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz Standards Supported IEEE802.3 CSMA/CD IEEE802.3u 100BaseTx IEEE802.3z/ab 1000BaseT IEEE802.3x Flow Control IEEE 802.1p Environmental Operating Temperature: 0º C to 45º C (32º F to 113º F) Storage temperature: -20º C to 70º C (-4º F to 158º F) Operating Humidity: 10% to 90% Relative Humidity Storage Humidity: 10% to 95% Relate Humidity Power Maximum Power: 1.0A @ 100V Once upon a time I would say "Go Cisco", but I think Dell has come a long way with their servers and switches.
