Amazon has the T2700G-28TQ for $160, which looks like a massive discount at Camel^3. It is not fanless & includes only 2x SFP+ ports. You can add 2 more SFP+ and unlock "advanced L3 routing features" for extra cost, but pricing says you should buy something else. On the positive side, it offers web & CLI management as well as dual boot images.
OMG that's an incredible price drop!! From $1220 to $161!!!
0 reviews has me thinking that Amazon hasn't sold a single one of these are maybe this is an inventory purge? I can't seem to find any history of this switch being sold on eBay either...
Yeah, there isn't much on this switch. I want to know how to get to 4 SFP+ ports though.
My current setup is a H3C S5120-52C-PWR-EI with 4x SFP+ connections. I've maxed out the SFP+ connections with my pfSense router, FreeNAS box, desktop, and VMware box.
I need to add more SFP+ ports, and I should probably look at something like the LB6M. However, at $161, this price is hard to beat, even though I'll only gain 3 SFP+ ports.

You need to install the TP-Link TX432 10-Gigabit SFP+ Interface Card in the rear of the switch for the additional two SFP+ ports. The TX432 (new) seems to cost as much or more than the switch itself!
Thanks! At $220 for the TX432 the price is now above the 1700, plus it has that chatty fan. So, Unless the Layer 2 stuff is a huge need, the T1700G-28TQ still seems like the cat's meow.
I got in at $160! Impulse buy, but if it has 4x SFP+ it's a no brainer!
Why does it look like it's got 6 SFP Porta on the right side?

Two late to cancel the order? It has 2 SFP+ . To add the additional 2, you have to purchase a $200+ add in card.[/QUOTE]
Gah... One digit off! Strikes dyslexia again. I may be able to cancel yet.
Bummer. Thought it was a slam dunk!

Thanks Evan! The description and specs on Amazon did not make that clear. Found the confirmation on TP Link site.
Looks like I was able to cancel just in time! Oh well! Already made 2 impulse buys in the last week. Better stop before I get myself into trouble!
