So I picked up a Cisco Nexus 5548 for DIRT cheap from a local electronics recycler in my area. It's a really nice switch, like the ability for fabric extenders and the like and just the features it has, but it is stinking LOUD. I have it in the basement but you can hear it upstairs. My Procurve 6600 which was stupid loud (68dB) is like a whisper compared to it lol. Even my fabric extender for it is waaay quieter.
Is there an option to put quieter fans in it? Or is there a cheap 10g switch option I could get to replace it?
