Gnodal GS4008 $1,400 bo

Genuine Gnodal GS4008 Layer 2 Ethernet TOR Switch 40 SFP 8 QSFP 2RU Ports | eBay

40x 10GbE + 8x 40GbE. I sent a lowball offer and they came back with $1,200. Too rich for my budget right now but potentially a great deal for someone else.

Wow, that is nice! I would buy it in an instant if I just had money right now....

Just as a bit of comparison for folks, a whitebox 48 port SFP+ and 6 QSFP+ switch is easily 5-8x that price.

Any caveats on these switches? Can you operate one without a support contract, etc?

There's a big long thread from a year ago. They're a low-latency L2 switch. No L3. They're not picky about optics (or at least my GS0018 isn't). There isn't much documentation to be had, but there's enough for most uses.

Gnodal went under a while ago, that's why they're so cheap. There's another thread or two around here from a while back from people snatching them up from a Canadian seller for half the price. This is the cheapest I've seen one since then.

OK, I bought it. Thanks. I love these switches for TOR use, we have about 4 of the 72 port ones and 3 of the 4008 model. The other seller asking $2900 will go down to about $2300 I think. At $1400 this is still a good deal.

They are truly transceiver agnostic, anything from fiberstore works well.

Thank you for saving me $1,400 by buying it!

The seller who I bought from has more of them. I have bought 4x from him and another department has bought about 5x. I sent info to a couple of users who asked about them and he has around 17 left.

$1200.
