Hello, I’m looking for a budget switch, second hand or new, which has the following:

  • At least 2, preferrably 4, sfp+ ports.
  • At least 2 2.5G or 10G rj45 ports.
  • At least 16 1G rj45 ports.
  • Under or around 300 euro.

Im in europe, so finding a nice switch used is hard. Most ship from america with loads of import tax and shipping costs.

I currently have a Mikrotik CRS326-24G-2S+RM switch, which has 24 gigabit dj45 ports and 2 sfp+ ones. This is almost enough, and I was just thinking of getting this random unmanaged switch from amazon which could meet what I want.

I have two proxmox nodes which I want to connect with sfp+ to my network, and then have 2.5G to any pc that needs to access the NAS on one of them. I would have one node connected to the Mikrotik switch, which would connect to the other switch, which would then connect to my other node, all with sfp+. Would that work?

    Have you checked out TP Link switches? Not sure if they are easy to buy in Europe, but here in the states they are a pretty budget friendly option.

    I’d do a more in depth search but my signal is limited because Im traveling right now.
