I'm working up to wiring Ethernet throughout my apartment, and am needing to start thinking about how it will all come together.
When it comes down to it, I think my minimum requirements for a central ethernet switch are going to be:
- at least 10 ports
- at least 4 supporting 10GBASE-T
- VLAN support
As much as I search for models, I keep getting caught up with search tools mixing the number of ports with the bandwidth of ports, so every time I think I am looking at something that fits the bill, I scroll down to the tech specs and find it has "10 ports, 1 with 10G" or "12 ports, plus 2 10G SFP+" and so on.
Feel like I'm going around in circles, so can anyone point me in the right direction?
