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

Somehow, the question of how experienced the original poster is with networking in general and Cisco in particular has still not been answered here. Without prior knowledge, it is hopeless; with general prior knowledge, the "Cisco switch" project is still at least very challenging. As a CCNP, of course, it looks different.

My knowledge is limited to what I learned during my training and some basic experience from my job. Professionally, I have little involvement with spanning tree, trunking, routing, etc. Of course, I understand these concepts, but they are not part of my main responsibilities.

Again, I looked into the switch because it can handle almost everything “out of the box.” I don’t need an additional router for VLANs, and it supports IGMPv3.

I am simply hoping to combine VLANs, VLAN routing, PoE, and Magenta TV in a single device with 24+ ports.

If anyone has an alternative, please share.

The Edge series from Ubiquiti seems to be an option. Has anyone ever had one of those in their hands and used it?

As I mentioned, I have two of these in use and run VLANs with them.
Upstream, there is the Ubiquiti USG-Pro-4.
I don’t have MagentaTV; I only use FTTH from Deutsche Telekom.

Routing should be handled by a good firewall with zones and a certain additional range of features, rather than using static routes on the switch.

Basically, I agree with you. But what real benefit does a proper fire wall provide in a single-family house? I don't want any external access.

Do you route the VLANs through the USG or the switches?
