Looking for a Fanless or run quiet Layer 3 Gigabit Switch
Trust me I have looked and had to return switch upon switches for not having what what i want.
Like the topic says, I am looking for a layer 3 switch that is at least 24 - 48 ports that is has gigabit on all ports. Don't care if it is POE or not. Don't care if it has SFP or not. Bottom line, it has to be a quiet switch comes or does not come with built-in cooling fan.
Is this just a pipe dream of mine or is Dell just like other vendors out there?
Yeah, might be more in the pipe dream category. I have full L3 Cisco/Linksys SG300-20 for my home lab for the same criteria you gave (L3, and no fans). That was really the only one I could find at the time. And most with fans will be disappointingly loud. Just a byproduct of throwing in a 1/2" fan and trying to move x amount of air.
Thanks for the share...I'll have to check it out. I heard Juniper offers good layer 3 gigabit switches that's fan-less. HP had a good one but it was 10/100...come on Dell! Its 2013 already :)
Dell EMC N1124T-ON switch. It provides both Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality, is completely silent (fanless), has a depth of approximately 25 cm, and includes 24 x 1GbE RJ45 ports and 4 x 10GbE SFP+ ports.

Thanks. I saw the 2808. Do you know of any with fan(s) that is probably the most quiet?
