It looks like 24*1Gb + 2*10Gb switches will be showing up soon:



Certainly not as cheap as a 2950 with two Gb ports, but this is the
start of an entirely new generation of edge switches. Does anyone want
to hazard a guess as how long it will be before 24+10Gb switches are
selling for $1,500?



Well, for now we have:

WS-C2970G-24TS-E Catalyst 2970 24 10/100/1000T + 4 SFP, Enhanced Image
currently listed at USD 5,495.00.



That's 24Gb + *4* Gb uplinks. Not quite 10Gb, but close. The 3750Gs
are layer 3 for a few grand more.
