Inexpensive L3/Managed VLAN capable switch

If thats the case, the SG300-20 might be the one for us! Less than £300 as well, I didn't realise they were THAT cheap!

As I said, not terrible. The performance won't match that of a proper enterprise L3 switch, but if it's for demo purposes it'll probably fit the bill.

My bosses have greenlighted the purchase of proper kit, so might as well have the warranty of new hardware rather than eBay.
We aren't taking mega throughput, we just need to prevent broadcast messages from flooding the network and causing problems.... Which is common in TV broadcast facility networks.

The only thing I'd point out with them is that the last 2 ports are combi ports - you get either SFP *or* copper, not both (so if you were planning to use all 20 ports then you have no fibre for uplinks)

Thanks for the heads up, I think we will be ok on that front.
