Hello Friends

I am planning to buy Switches and need some expertise.

The plan is as follows

2 or 3 Internet Providers Cables goes in to >>> Load Balancer >>> VPN/Firewall Router >>> Main Switch >>> Each cable from it goes to another Switch (which is mounted on the rack, that has 8 Rigs)


Internet Load Balancer


I am planning to go with PEPLINK Brand maybe 305 or 380. Or should i chose the lower models. Or any other brand you recommend


VPN/Firewall Router

Please suggest brand


Main Switch (Which of the below options is best) - Is Managed Switch better or Un Managed Switch ?

TP LINK - T2600G-28TS - Managed Switch
TP LINK - T2700G-28TQ - Managed Switch
TP LINK - T2600G-28MPS - Managed Switch

DLink - DGS-3120-24PC - Managed Switch
DLink - DGS-3120-24TC - Managed Switch

From the above which one is the best option for the MAIN SWITCH


Switches on Racks (each rack has 8 Rigs) -

TP LINK - T2600G-28TS - Managed Switch
TP LINK - T2700G-28TQ - Managed Switch
TP LINK - T2600G-28MPS - Managed Switch

DLink - DGS-3120-24PC - Managed Switch
DLink - DGS-3120-24TC - Managed Switch


Should i go with the Managed Switch or Un Managed Switch for the switches on the rack?
