Lowest-end Cisco switch with Gbit ports (Layer 2)
I only need 8 GBit ports to set up a Backup LAN.
Which model of Layer 2 Cisco switch is the lowest
cost ? Layer 3 is fine too but cost is the concern.
Ideally the model must come with IOS/Cat-OS that
supports link aggregation (for NIC bonding/teaming
of live-live ports)

i have a few of the SG200's
go with the SG300 model
go with the SG300 model
Go with WS-C2960G-8TC-L. It's bulletproof.

Guess I'll go with WS-C2960G-8TC-L so as to get a good documented support
of an enterprise-proven product (not a home or small business product) with
industry-wide Link Aggregation protocols

> Cisco WS-C3560-8PC-S 3560 8-PORT Poe Catalyst Switch
Think the above switch has 1 Gbit port only (& 8 100Mbps ports)
so didn't meet the requirement :

The Cisco SD2008T has 8 Gbit ports but I'm not sure if it can do
"Link Aggregation" for teaming/bonding of servers' NIC ports :
