Need recomendations on 10/100/1000 BaseTX managed switches

[Christopher]

I need some recomendations on a 24 port 10/100/1000BaseTX managed gige switch.

Ideally it would be 1U in size, rack mountable, and have a serial port for console management. It needs to have 24 RJ-45 UTP ports, capable of 10/100/1000 BaseTX, full duplex, auto-sensing, auto-negotiation.

It would be nice if it did SNMP too, so we can track traffic utilization via MRTG.

We use Cisco switches here. Check out their website - www.cisco.com

Something like a Cisco Catalyst 3750G-24T-E looks like it would do what I need, except it goes for about $6,000

Hp also makes some very nice switches at a resonable price.

What do you guys think of the Netgear models? I'm also looking into switches for a new network.

And what degree of management do you need? L2 or L3?

Netgears are fairly cheap compared to Cisco. Layer 2 management goes for about 900. Layer 3 Starts at 2000 or so.

Side Question: Which one would I need to prioritize do a VLAN and prioritize VoIP Traffic by MAC Address?

Dell has a 24 port gige managed switch for $880 here. You won't find the features in any other switch for this price. At $36.67/port, that's very inexpensive.

Is it just my imagination, or is she browsing the forums?

5 bucks says that Lethal.

If your going to be using them in a V-lan (and not large static cast) environment
I can reccomend asante's 24 port managed gig switches
[I have them deployed in a 1400 port environment]

Thanks for all the suggestions folks!

I only need a layer 2 functionality for port based VLANs.
