Reddit mentions of Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 16 Port 10 Managed Gigabit Switch

They were really expensive a few years ago but prices are slowly coming down.

12 SFP+ ports that do 10G over shorter cables
4 RJ-45 ports for 10G over longer cables

$510

The LB6M (used) is a popular switch that does 10Gb SFP+ without breaking the bank. One of the things to watch out for with this switch is that it is considered to be quite loud and power hungry.

For 4 SFP+ and 48x 1Gb ports, the Netgear GS752TXS (used) is an interesting option. These can be found for ~200$ on Ebay.

Another option is the Ubiquiti ES‑16‑XG (new), providing you with 12 SFP+ and 4 RJ45. This switch goes for $511.99 on Amazon.

10GBASE-T stuff isn't even moderately cheap, even used. You can get some pretty cheap SFP+ stuff on eBay, but not if you want Cisco. What's your budget and do you have to have Cisco gear? If so, look at the switch I linked in my first comment.

edit: Right, $1,000 is a lot different than $10,000, but you said 16-24 ports. The switch I linked is only 12 ports at $1500. Once you get to the 24 port and then the Nexus series you're easily spending 3-6k.

Power Hungry gig switch with 2 SFP+ 10G ports: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Quanta-LB4M-10GB-Uplink-Gigabit-Ethernet-Switch-Single-Power-Supply-w-Warranty-/381876925482?hash=item58e9a3742a:g:6O0AAOSwCU1Y3q7W

Another power hungry, loud 24 Port SFP+ 10G Switch: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Delta-Broadcom-10GbE-24-Port-SFP-4x1GbE-L3-Switch-ET-DT7040-Quanta-LB6M-Class-/152020333438?hash=item23651e337e:g:3woAAOSwTM5Y0FGv

For $1200 you would be better off getting another 10G fibre switch and switching it off. https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-ES-16-XG-Edge-Switch/dp/B01K2Y1HP0

Well a router is just hardware capable of networking. If you build a PC and throw, for example, pfSense, Vyatta, VyOS, etc. on it, then you can use the PC as a router.

Personally I think for personal use, building your own 10Gbps router is the best idea. Those fuckers are damn expensive.

As for switching, would you want full 10Gbps network connectivity in your house? Or just 1Gbps clients then 10Gbps uplinks? This will decide whether you have a loud and super expensive setup vs a quietish and not so expensive setup.

Edit: Here's a potentially decent deal? https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-ES-16-XG-Edge-Switch/dp/B01K2Y1HP0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1519897491&sr=8-1&keywords=edgeswitch-16-xg

According to UBNT's documentation for this, it has static routing and DHCP meaning you *could* theoretically use it as a very basic router, however I would seriously recommend having a firewall between this and WAN.

So the best way to maximize the use of the two on-board 10gb copper connectors would be to LACP them into a compatible switch, and then use other ports on said switch to communicate with other endpoints using other 10gb adapters. This would require a switch such as the https://dl.ubnt.com/datasheets/edgemax/EdgeSwitch_ES-16-XG_DS.pdf. ($600, CDN). This would work but requires SFP+ connections for any more than four copper ethernet hosts, or a 10gb connection to a top-of-rack type switch.

The next best would be to use both connectors to aggregate the connection to the switch and then have multiple 1gb hosts share the 10gb of bandwidth back to the GA-7PESH2 host. This is probably the most economical route to take as much advantage of the bandwidth as possible. I know of very few actual setups where this wouldn't supply enough bandwidth. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B076642YPN/ref=emc_b_5_t at $300 this is a pretty decent option.

Sub-optimal would be to have the 10gb connections in LACP with two 1GB ports on a compatible switch (most people would probably be in this camp). You can use existing equipment and wait until lower cost rj45 8+ port managed solutions are available. Most of us are sitting in the wait and see camp.

That would work, and there's like half a dozen different "versions" of that exact same thing, the Quanta LB6M being the cheapest. As mentioned, they're loud, put out a lot of heat, and take a lot of power to do so.

If budget isn't such a big concern, I'd probably go with this thing or this one. They're (supposedly, I don't have one) quiet and burn about 20W.

That thing is beautiful but I looked up the price and fainted. Damn. I mean, it's not THAT much in comparison to enterprise switches out there but still pricey. But it's exactly what I want.

>$588.98
