Alternatively, you can pick up a used switch from Cisco, Dell, etc. that have excellent support for LAGG and other useful things for significantly less than the TP-Link (as long as you don't need 10G). I think the last 2960Gs I picked up were less than US$30/pc. Down side is 1) they use more power, 2) bigger switches (24- or 48-ports) are much louder, and 3) not going to see any new OS updates for most of them. So you have lots of options.
- apple4ever 3y agoOld Brocade switches are the sweet spot. Cheap and OS is still updatable!
- kjs3 3y agoI shall check those out; thanks for the tip. I will say I checked and it looks like my elderly Dell switches have gotten an update in the 2020s, so perhaps it's just Cisco who said "nope...we're done with IOS 12".
