Haven't kept up much with Cisco's product line for 1U DC lately. Last I knew only a 24 port 2950 or 3550 were available for a cheap 1U DC switch. Foundry's FastIron Edge X Series is very reasonably priced, but 1.5U for 48 ports. It may be overkill for what you are looking for though with full L3 and 10GbE capabilities. /Eric _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
