I know it's a but of a unicorn ;-)
I'm looking for a pair of switches to be used in dirty environment; with fans i'd be setting myself up for replacing fans and switches.
I do prefer MLAG to stacking (virtual chassis etc).
Most other parameters are less important (client ports can be GigE/2.5G/10GbaseT, uplinks preferably 10G SFP+).
Ideal model would have 8-12 2.5Gbase-T + 4 SFP+, but i doubt this would fit into fanless power footprint (~30-40W).
I know Mikrotik switches support MLAG and many are fanless; CRS326-24G-2S mostly fits my requirements; i'm not a big fan of RouterOS though;
plus i'd prefer at least 2 more SFP+ ports.
Are there any other options available? I've not found a cheap chinese switch with MLAG support yet ;-)
