Hi guys
I have two quick questions that I thought would be best served in one post
1. Does anyone know of any cheapish eBay switch(es) I could pickup which have full OpenFlow support?
2. I have a couple of Dell Power Connect 5524 switches and would like to hook up the 10GbE ports into my ESXi server and FreeNAS system, can I buy several of these:

along with the appropriate Brocade 1020 PCIe card (for the servers) and plug them straight into the Dell Power Connect 5524 (sorry I put PE in the subject title, I meant Power Connect!) or do I need SFPs for the Dell? Distance is less than 1M (same cabinet) - home lab for my own learning.
Thanks
