advise for buying switches and creation SFP trunk
Dear community, As I am new to managed Switches I would like to have some advise before buying 2 switches. I need to connect 2 switches, one in a small office and one in home, approx. 50 meters apart from each other. A 200 Mbit fiber internet connection is ready to connect in the home location and connects both the office uses and the home users. I think of using 2 ProSAFE Smart Switches GS724T which have 2 fiber SFP GBIC connections as a stack and connect them via an SFP trunk to get a 2Gbit connection between switches. Planned are 2 Synology DS1817+ file- and backupservers, one in office and one in home. This DS1817+ has 4 Gbit ethernet connections and supports link aggregation (LACP). I think of connecting them via an 4 port SFP trunk to the switch for optimal performance. Future connections for security camera's are prepared. Questions 1) Is creation of the trunks and stack possible with these switches? 2) Is this a cost effective solution given the provided information or is there a much better option? 3) Is this the right type of cable for this project? https://www.patchkast.nl/om3-glasvezel-kabel-lc-lc-50m.html type: Duplex, Multimode 50/125, category: OM3 connector: LC I am happy to provide more information if needed. Thanks, hohojojoSolved2.8KViews0likes8CommentsGS748T sfp port issue
