Replacement for Netgear GS108

I've had excellent experience with the D-Link DGS-2208

The Cisco SLM2008 is 5.12 in. x 1.12 in. x 5.12 in.

How small are you looking for?

That's a nice dimension. Do you know if there is any reason to prefer the Cisco logo version to the older Linksys SL2008?

We are trying to fit as many of these units as possible onto a single 1U tray. Each switch represents a separate subnet on a firewall.

What would be really nice would be a rackmount enclosure that mounts something like the SLM2008 vertically in several separate slots, or alternately something that looks like a small switch where each plug in module is a separate isolated switch not sharing data with any other card.

We don't want to use any kind of VLAN on a larger switch, both because of the hassle of maintaining it, as well as because we don't trust the technology. Separate physical switches are easier to understand and maintain.

No idea what, if any, changes might have been made.

Does "very small" include the power supply?

A small external AC to DC power supply is fine.

There are some small, 8 port HP ProCurve switches:

There are some PoE models I've not included.

rick jones not actually in HP ProCurve, but uses a few of them :)
