I am shopping for 3-5 switches fiber ready or fiber module equipped to integrate into my network. I have been very satisfied with a mostly HP Procurve backbone 4000 and 2500 series with fiber modules added and like the idea of sticking with a procurve configuration but they are getting a little old. The fiber modules were pricy but have been durable. I know there are cheaper and compatible and equally reliable switches out there and am seeking recommendations. thanks John McSweeney Cabot School Technologist [log in to unmask]
