That all depends on how much diagnostic time costs. I volunteer so that comes pretty cheap! > A 24 port Gig switch with management that costs less than $1k is a > pretty low end pile of hardware.

I would argue if that is what you are trying to do you already have the wrong box and should have installed 10 GE. > I'm not a Cisco fan as their price far exceeds their value. Agree there. Consider Avaya stuff, like the 4524GT. True enterprise grade stuff, better efficiency, non-blocking, 10 GE support, stackable, lifetime warranty.
