Have you actually looked at Mikrotik switches? I don't like the OS, but the hardware does what you want it to. https://mikrotik.com/products/group/switches?filter&s=c&r={%22sfp_plus_interface%22:{%22s%22:%223%22,%22e%22:%2224%22}}#! If necessary, buy your SFP modules from FS.com and get them coded as Mikrotik modules at the factory - that's what we do for Cisco, Brocade, Juniper, Extreme, etc. Even the top-of-the-line Mikrotik only costs US$899. -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [[MERLIN LOGO]] 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB, R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) athompson@merlin.mb.ca<mailto:athompson@merlin.mb.ca> www.merlin.mb.ca<http://www.merlin.mb.ca/> ________________________________ From: NANOG <nanog-bounces@nanog.org> on behalf of Mauro Gasparini <mjgasparini@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2020 8:46:21 AM To: Mehmet Akcin Cc: nanog Subject: Re: Switch for SFP+ Thank you. The problem is that to get a price lower than U$D 3000 I have to resort to a used device. El 14/5/20 a las 01:08, Mehmet Akcin escribió: Used Juniper QFX5100-48T will do it.

I'm looking for a switch with the following capabilities: . transport for more than 20 gbps . link aggregation LACP . slots for SFP+ . seamlessly when trunking vlans through the link aggregation. And essentially that doesn't exceed US$D 2000 and is compatible with 10GBASE-ER and/or 10GBASE-ZR modules that are not from the vendor itself (e.g. SPFs: Huawei, Mikrotik, Sumitomo, OEMs). If any of you have a good experience with a device that meets these requirements (which are minimal with the exception of price and compatibility) ? Regards. Mauro Gasparini -- Mehmet +1-424-298-1903
