I feel like I have a pretty comprehensive setup but I have 10 ports hooked up of my 12 port switch, 1 for every major room in the house(5), 2 for my office and 2 for the servers and one for input. And honestly I only use 2 room ones so I have 3 that go unused.
I can’t imagine the level of insanity that would require 48 ports for home use.
Well… I have a few servers, that all have 2 port minimum (they actually all have 5 ethernets) (IPMI and Normal Ethernet) that’s already 10 port, plus my Desktop, plus the link nto the router, plus storage management of a JBOD (2 ports) that’s already 14 ports, and then I want to do stuff with POE Rasberry Pis (or similar) and I also have a few AP that I can now try and have fun with! I won’t use the 48 ports, but 24 ports were more expensives where I live… so, I took this one!
What do you guys even use these big switches for?
