Can anyone recommend a solid 48-port (1GbE) switch for top of rack duties?
I'm currently tinkering with a few bare metal Quanta LB9s, which seem like the perfect hardware for my project. But obtaining licenses is proving to be a nightmare. I've also looked into using Cumulus, but I can't justify the cost.
I'm only looking to do some basic L2 stuff (VLAN, LACP), no routing.
The Mikrotik CRS354-48G-4S+2Q+RM looks nice.
Are there other brands to look at that don't play these games with licensing and support contracts?
