[nycbug-talk] Unmanaged Switch, SNMP traffic data?

Hey All,

Do any of the Networking hardcores on this list have any good  
reccomendations for switches?

I'm looking for the following:
24 port Gigabit Switches
Unmanaged (though I want passive SNMP data so I can collect aggregate  
traffic usage?)

Am I wishing for a product that doesn't exist?  I've found many good  
looking unmanaged switches, but no snmp- and I'd *really* like to  
simply do traffic analysis on a per-ip basis (snmp and mrtg would do  
just fine for this application).

--
I don't want to get into the layer2 and layer3 switches for a number  
of reasons, cost, complexity, more manageable stuff secure, and yet  
another device to plug a wire into...

--
OR, any other ideas on how to per-ip bandwidth analysis with  
unmanaged switches?

Thanks!
.ike
