Vlan Switch Advice

Linksys is good too as they're owned by cisco. You can also go for 2nd hand enterprise.

Linksys is NOT owned by Cisco. They were sold off to Belkin.
Still nice products though.

Nit: Cisco sold Linksys to Belkin in March, 2015.

So far, Belkin hasn't spoiled the fun.

What do you guys think about this switch? http://www.linksys.com/us/p/P-LGS308/

Would it be a good idea to buy this one?

Yes, that switch will satisfy your requirements.
It also runs practically the same OS as your old switch, so config ought to be fairly straight forward.

If you want to dry run the interface:

Good enough - and the price is reasonable - it's unmanaged little brother is only slightly less..

cheap enough for a basic unmanaged GiGE switch - They used to list around $80, but these days, can find them for around $55-50 in most places.

I think i might go with this one.

I need something that I could manage and create vlans. Hopefully in the next week I should receive it. I will keep you guys updated on the setup.
Thanks once again for your advice, and help.

The SG300 series -- if they don't do POE, they are fanless. The 10-port POE version is fanless as well since the power supply is an external brick.

Just checked - SG300-10 (all versions), SG300-20 and SG300-28 are fanless. My SG300-28P has two fans but they seem to throttle base on load. I have 1 WAP and 9 IP cameras and the load is currently 74W and the fans are silent since the switch is in a vented closet.

I vote SG300 switch also. Great switch for the money. There are plenty of used ones around half price.

Well after really thinking about it i went with the Linksys LGS308. Since I'm going to need POE down the road to add some IP camera thought this would be good. We will see how it goes in a couple days when i have a chance to configure the vlans for my lab.

thank you all for the help and advice. You guys are a great group of NERDs! lol.. have a good day. Keep you guys posted on how this switch works.

Did you get the LGS 308p or just the vanilla LGS 308?
The model with p at the end is the POE unit.

I'm also considering the LGS308. How loud is the fan(s)?
Also considering the Netgear GS108T-200NAS and the TP-SG2008. The GS108T has limited security features, and the SG2008 apparently has security flaws.

Linksys confirmed that the LGS308 as NO fan. Nice.
