Dell Networking X1052 Switch

[Mr_Jiminy]

Has anyone had experience these switches?

Bought 2 to replace the 24 port gigabit switches in the server rack over summer, and some Dell SFP modules to go with them. Can't complain, definitely do the trick.

[Mr_Jiminy]

What type of switch were you replacing?

What type of switch were you replacing?

 

HP ProCurve 1800-24G which was the primary switch into which the servers were connected.

 

I inherited this network a couple of years ago and I'm working through failure points, redundancy and throughput. This summer I bought those Dell switches, teamed the NICs on the servers (quite a few were just running off 1 port, despite having up to 8 NICs) and split them across the two switches for redundancy.
