Ok, strange request I know... but I need to put a rack mounted 16 or 24 port gigabit managed switch into a Gator rack case like this one:
http://**************/1EQaGsJ
So the switch needs to be less than 19 inches deep... which wouldn't normally be the problem... Tons of managed switches are out there...
But here is the problem, the application we're running has some hard coded VLAN tagging, which can NOT be changed. So the switch must allow me to do 802.1q VLAN tagging on VLAN1 - yeah I know, stupid choice, not mine.
This pulls a lot of cheap inexpensive ebay switches off the list, Dell, HP, TPLINK etc all do not allow you to mess with VLAN1 because nobody in their right mind would want to do that.
I'd rather no break the bank on this, so something cheap that can be picked up off of eBay would be great... There are some cheap 8 port switches from NetGear that do this, but I need more than 8 ports, and I really need the switch to have rack ears for travel, so those aren't an option.
Anybody have any ideas on a switch that would work?
