I am looking at the hardware requirements for my new Network. I have pretty much decided to go down the Ubiquiti Unifi Path.
I have realised that my original plan of a 24 port switch will not provide me enough ports (short by 3) for everything to be patched.
So I now I wonder what option should I choose and what are the advantages and disadvantages of them
Option 1
Go all out and get a 48 port switch. Not thinking this is needed
Option 2
Get a small UniFi 8 Port switch to top up the ports. This would mean I could get away with the24 ports and get a smal 8 port when the time comes
Option 3
Get 2 x 16 port UniFi Switches.
This could be the best solution, I believe these are less audible than the 24 port switches. Although it will be housed in a cabinet, I would like to keep noise and heat to a minimum.
Any and all thoughts welcome
