Don't top-post.

There are a number of vendors who sell "managed" switches.  I don't
recommend any of them.  I think Cisco is worth the extra money.

However, most manufactures who sell switches have a line of "managed"
switches.  I don't recommend Dells, but they do exist.  3Com has them --
just about anyone who's serious about selling networking equipment
has them.
