Re: Decent 48p switch for ~$600

Hello! I'm looking for a replacement for our "3com Baseline Switch 2250
plus" 48p switch. This is the second 3com 2250+ we have had (the last
one was returned) and it is very unstable and crappy.

We don't need any fansy, we are about 150 users and the 48p switch
(current 3com 2250+) is the main connection point.

As I said we have a budget (not very rich company), ~$600 is maximum,
and lower would be better.

We also need 1000MBit ports for connecting to our file server. I've been
looking on the "HP ProCurve Switch 2510-48", but that is a little to
expensive.

Any help would be great!

Refurbished?

It's so cheap, I haven't figured out the catch myself. Maybe there is
none.

Or buy an older model (no Gb port)
