Thanks. That gives me some confidence.

That's at the top of my list right now. It does everything I want
and it's dirt cheap. But I don't know if anybody has actually
tried them, so until we start hearing reports, it's literally very
promising. Probably worth trying, if I get a chance. At that price
($500 for 24 ports) you can't go wrong.

I'm not looking for copper, except maybe a couple ports for

If anyone has used an EdgeCore switch, it's largely (if not completely) the 
same guts. They're both part of Acton (or however you spell it).

True, there's a 10-sfp CRS. Good price. Two downsides, though. One, 10 
ports is still kind of small, like they're dipping their toes in the 
market. Two, it's really a RouterOS router, not a switch. So it isn't 
optimized for clean Layer 2 operation with VLANs, QoS, etc. That's not 
MT's strength -- router folks don't appreciate Carrier Ethernet, which 
is a lot newer than eye pee.

Thanks for the model number. I had looked on Planet's web site
but there were no switches under "Braodband Communications"; that
model was in the "LAN switch" section. The product name then says
"Managed Metro Ethernet Switch" but it doesn't mention any MEF
compliance, the application page says "core/department network"
(though it uses SFPs, which is odd there), and its QoS features
don't seem up to MEF standards (three-color marking, etc.). So it
might work but I'm not sure if it really wants to be a carrier box.

What's the price? My recollection is that Planet was very very
reasonable.

The other one that looks really interesting is the new IgniteNet
Fusion Switch. The 20-SFP/4-SFP+ box is under $500, and seems to
be aimed at Active carrier deployments. Of course it's kinda new
so I don't know if anyone has it deployed yet. And I have no need
for higher-layer features in a switch; I'd rather let a real
router do that.

I'm not looking for copper, except maybe a couple ports for the local 
connection; I'm looking for lots of SFPs, something that could be useful 
for a rural FTTP build, dropped into a pedestal somewhere in the middle 
of noplace, to feed a cluster of nearby buildings. MikroTik isn't in 
that space yet; CRS seems to be lots of copper.

Thanks for the model number. I had looked on Planet's web site but 
there were no switches under "Braodband Communications"; that model 
was in the "LAN switch" section. The product name then says "Managed 
Metro Ethernet Switch" but it doesn't mention any MEF compliance, the 
application page says "core/department network" (though it uses SFPs, 
which is odd there), and its QoS features don't seem up to MEF 
standards (three-color marking, etc.). So it might work but I'm not 
sure if it really wants to be a carrier box.


What's the price? My recollection is that Planet was very very reasonable.

The other one that looks really interesting is the new IgniteNet 
Fusion Switch. The 20-SFP/4-SFP+ box is under $500, and seems to be 
aimed at Active carrier deployments. Of course it's kinda new so I 
don't know if anyone has it deployed yet. And I have no need for 
higher-layer features in a switch; I'd rather let a real router do that.
