I've got good experiences with FastIron Edge switches (24 or 48 ports
10/100, 2 ports 10/100/1000 or SFP), including the models supporting POE
(802.3af).  Haven't used them for anything besides switching in a
redundant network layout.  They're big but they work.

I've observed some issues with some of the EdgeIron series switches
which probably have been fixed in more recent versions of the software
than what we tested with halfway last year.
