Looking for a starter switch with SNMP - Data Center, Colocation, Cloud Computing, Storage, Dedicated Servers Forums

What's a decent switch for a small colocation room supporting SNMP? It only needs to be 24 ports and the bandwidth at this office is 3.0 / 3.0.

Price is obviously a concern, but so are features.

You might want to look for a HP Procurve 2524 of Cisco Catalyst 2950.

Alright, I have a friend who is willing to trade me one of these -> http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/def...spx?EDC=344128 for a Linksys 16-port managed gigabit switch.

Are these 3Com switches any good?

They look okay to me; I don't have much experience with 3Com but the specs look good.
