"Original beef" data sheet


 * 24/48 1gbE copper (PoE available)


 * Full layer 3, IPV4 + IPV6 routing, L2/L3/L4 ACL's, VRRP, OSPF, SNMP, sflow, VRFs, tunnels, BGP


 * No 10gbE by default. See Here for notes on adding 10gbE cards


 * Fans cannot be modified


 * ~40w power draw


 * 2x redundant hot-swap PSU's


 * Aggregate capacity: 152gbps / 114Mpps (wirespeed regardless of features enabled)

Noise: PoE not recommended for home. non-PoE a little quieter than Dell R710 or ICX 6610

Recommendation: A very cheap platform to learn networking with (as they support everything, including BGP), or a lab box. For switches to use in your permanent home network, you might want to look below at the newer models. These are best for a lab environment on a budget where you don't care about a bunch of 10gbE or noise, but want advanced networking features such as BGP and VRFs
