So I'm running out of ports on my 8 port NetGear GS108T. I also have an old 8 port Dell power connect 2708.
I'm looking for a new 16-24 managed gigabit switch that gives me features like VLAN's, link aggregation (so I can trunk 2 or 3 ports between the new switch and the old 8 port NetGear to give me more throughput on the up-link between the switches), and jumbo frame support if possible. ACL's on the VLAN's would also be a nice touch.
I'm trying to keep the price below $350. What would you all suggest? A new Dell power connect? Another Netgear? Do any of these switches have higher throughput than the others? (Although technically they should be the same.)
Are any of them more highly recommended than the others? Is there an area of the site where I can read about any testing done on these switches? (I know there are a lot of reviews on this site, just could not find the reviews on the managed switches)
If this was your money what would you buy and why?
Thanks!
