I like the Juniper EX2200C switches. They are only 12-port, but have 2 SFPs. They are very low power, and have no fans. However, I am still waiting (it has been several months) for them to send me the correct rack mount brackets (which are a separate purchase). -Randy -- | Randy Carpenter | Vice President - IT Services | Red Hat Certified Engineer | First Network Group, Inc. | (800)578-6381, Opt. 1 ---- ----- Original Message -----

That doesn't require constant rebooting?I can't comment to the rebooting, but a couple of years ago I looked at the Allied-Telesis AT-9000-28SP, which is a smack steeply priced (~$1,500) but has flexible optics and is managed. And at ~35 watts is the lowest powered managed gigabit switch I was able to find for our solar powered telescopes. The grant that was going to fund that fell through, so I'm still running the 90W+ Catalyst 2900XL with two 1000Base-X modules and 24 10/100 ports instead, but the AT unit looked pretty good as a pretty much direct replacement with extra bandwidth.
