I have a AT&T BGW320-500 gateway with the AT&T FIBER — INTERNET 5000 Gbps plan in my garage.
That gateway’s 5Gb ethernet port is plugged into a TP-Link TL-SG1024S and that switch connects to 12 ethernet cables (Cat 6) that connect to the ethernet wall patch panels throughout the house.
The house has 2 flours and my main computer room is upstairs.
I have a NAS in my computer room for video editing. I also have a PC, personal laptop, and work laptop with 10Gbe NICs.
I want to buy 2 switches, one for the garage and one for the computer room. I only care about the computer room having a 10Gbe switch but I believe I need another switch for the garage to send up a 10Gbe connection to my computer room.
I’m looking for some suggestions on how I would go about doing this because I don’t really understand connecting switches like this.
I also randomly have a Juniper EX4200 series with 10G modules. I also have a linksys SR224G and a planet POE-2400 but I don’t think these will be useful.
I attached some photos of some of the current setup.
In my configuration with ATT Fiber, I have a Ubiquiti UDM-SE that goes to a Unifi Aggregation Pro. The the Agg Pro then has various runs, one which is a Unifi Flex XG in my office (has 4 10Gbe ports). You can technically skip the Agg Pro and just use the Flex XG in your office.
Would this setup work?
Garage:
[ATT]==[UDM-SE]==[USW-Aggregation]==[TP-Link TL-SG1024S]
Computer Room:
[USW-Aggregation] → Devices
For the garage [USW-Aggregation] I believe I would need 2 [MikroTik S+RJ10]:
- one for the ethernet wall plate that goes to my computer room
- one for the [TP-Link TL-SG1024S]
And for the computer room I believe I would need [MikroTik S+RJ10] for each plugged in device
