I need at least 48 ports per device and obviously would like them to be "fast". Most importantly, I'd like to know what you guys prefer as operations dudes and what pitfalls to avoid. Also, are there other features you folks would demand to have in your switches that I haven't mentioned? I can provide more information if you'd like. Thanks.
Oh, cost is sort of an issue (small/medium sized business) but right now insight from you guys is what's important and I can work out the cost issue later. Thanks again.
D-Link DGS-3100
I ordered a number of these for the school where I work to place a number of Cisco 2960 10/100 switches.
I am quite happy with them. Some of these switches are connected by multi-mode fibre.
cheers,
