Just as the title says, looking for some recommendations for a switch
- 48-port
- Gigabit
- PoE (af is probably fine)
- 4x SFP+ (need 2 for fiber uplinks)
- Redundant power supplies (this is the biggest point)
- Layer 3 is not needed
- Stacking would be nice
Going to need 7-8 of these for a warehouse that is going to be moving to 7x24 operation. Most of these are going into IDFs - one switch per IDF. IDF switches will only be used for PoE cameras and wireless APs. MDF would probably get 2x of these switches and used to power phones, connect some other APs, and desktop machines. While there will be a few VLANs, there is no inter-VLAN routing. SFP+ to connect existing fiber - trying to make some redundant paths since whomever wired the place daisy-chained the fiber at the IDFs - only 2 of the 5 IDFs have fiber runs back to the MDF. Sigh.
Was looking at Meraki MS250 + license + power supply, and Ruckus ICX7550 2 PSU bundle + cloud controller license. Figure there are some other options that are escaping my Google-fu.
Not looking to buy used. Don't have a budget, but I'm guessing I'm in the 2,500-3,500 range on switches.
