[c-nsp] Looking for a 2000 port GigE (rj45) solution?

[Simon Hamilton-Wilkes]

How about HP ProCurve Switch 2900-48G, way cheaper than Cisco's (4K
even each) and they have 4 X 10 gig ports on the back, two of which
are 10 gig CX4 so you can use them to trunk distances of < 15M without
needing optical transceivers or fibers.

They are becoming my standard top-of-rack switch as I can dual home
them at 10 gig and still have 2 more 10 gig ports for iSCSI use.
