Please recommend a cheap managed switch?
Question by Brian M: Please recommend a cheap managed switch?
I have a small house network like and I need to monitor the traffic usage of it. I’m trying a software which requires a switch with port mirroring, i.e. managed switch. But I don’t want to invest too much so I come here for help. Any affordable switch can you suggest? Thanks.

I really can get what you want to accomplish but I’ve got two good choices for you. You can go for a second hand Cisco Catalyst 2950 on ebay or you can also go for a brand new Cisco Small Business SF300-08 managed switch. Both of them are cheap for a managed switch.

Hi Brian M!
I recommend NETGEAR GS108 ProSafe 8-Port Gigabit
Ethernet Desktop Switch. Eight auto-sensing 10/100/1000 ports,
makes it simple to combine Fast Ethernet and Gigabit devices in
your network http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006RVPW?ie=UTF8&tag=digitsy-post-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00006RVPW
