ᐅ Any experience with the Cisco SG250X-24P-K9-EU switch?

Hello everyone,

I am considering using/acquiring a managed switch for the future home network.

In my opinion, it should meet all necessary requirements: Layer 3, routing, IGMPv3, VLAN without a router...

Does anyone have experience with this device or any other comments?

Best regards

Yes, the SG250 is suitable for home use but not oversized, depending on what you want to do. I find the PoE power from Cisco good (I work daily with the SG350, SG550, Catalyst, or large TORs).

Oversizing only begins at the DNA stage, including the DNA Center, in residential construction!

Try searching for “ubiquiti Fritzbox double NAT” on Google.
You will quickly find all the relevant information.

I’m a bit confused right now. You mentioned that you don’t want to use Ubiquiti because it involves tinkering. So, what’s wrong with using a Fritzbox as the router and a switch for distribution?

Oh, that was actually just a side note in my explanation of why I’m not really comfortable with Ubiquiti, even though it was initially decided that it should be the choice.

Could you tell me a bit more about it? You don’t seem to think the idea is that bad.
