@andrew@ottawa.place Help me narrow it down please: PoE? Managed? 1G? 10G? 40G? Copper? SFP? SFP+? QSFP? RPS/Hot-swap PSU? Rack mount? Pocket? Desktop? What sort Port density? I've got all flavours of Juniper from EX2200 to EX4500, several Arista DCS7050 flavours (including copper 10G), a couple Mikrotik, HP/Aruba Instant-On, a couple UniFi, a few EdgeSwitch, maybe even some Omada.

@mWare@ottawa.place Hah, yeah, should have been more specific; sorry about that! 😅 I'm in the market for a small (4-6 port) desktop or under-desk switch that can do 10G back to my rack (copper preferably but I have a conduit and can run something else). I run Brocade now which I'll likely never get more of, so I'm good with Mikrotik (used before for smaller things) and UniFi (though I don't have an existing setup and probably don't want to 100% migrate over to that ecosystem). No need for PoE though I'd get it if I had the option. Also if you have any small 1U rackmounts that are cheap and/or low-power, I have a little TP-Link taped to my rack now for complicated reasons and would love to replace that with something actually rackmount. 1G is fine, no PoE or management necessary.
