Or at least buy Cisco refurb and save $$$...;)

We have lots of 2950's in use ... moving to 2960's for low end
applications currently - then moving to 3560 etc from there....

You might also checkout the Express500 stuff... more basic switch and
priced right.....

2.5K? No way. Get used or refurbished from Network Hardware or similar
outlet. We rarely buy new. Used gear works just fine.

Subject: Managed, cheap, DC power switches

I have a need for cheap managed DC power switches for our OSS and
Monitoring (backoffice).  I was wondering what everyone else have
found in this space.  I am currently using Cisco 2950's, but those are
still 2.5K list and seems like too much to spend on something so
trivial.

I am looking for something with:
 * Better port density (48 ports per 1U), but 24 ports would work.
 * IOS like configuration (not needed, but would be nice not to
crosstrain my team)  I really don't want anything that is Web only.
 * CHEAP.  The gear is mostly just for monitoring and big backplanes
and features are not really needed.

Thanks,

Brandon
