Hi. I'm considering picking up Black Friday gear for upgrading my network to 2.5 Gbe. I have it down to three options. What do you think is the best way for me to go? If it matters, I may pick up three units for different locations. Bonus points if you can tell me if there is a way to mount them in a network rack without a shelf.

As far as rack mounted switches, they will have little "ears" on the sides that are used to mount them in the rack.

You do not need a shelf to mount them

Instead, there are screws that will go in to the ears and the ears hold the weight of the switch to the rach!
