For the price, functionality and stability I think it is a very good
choice... Especially if you are going to do more of these, then
standardize on something. Who cares if it has too many ports.

Mike,
Isn't a Cisco 3750 switch a 24 or 48 port switch? I would think that
would be overkill since I only need 4 to 8 ports?

I am in need of a recommendation for a small Ethernet switch for
an MDU applications. This is a garden style community where each
building has between 4 to 8 units inside of the building. There
are 15 buildings on the property. We would run a new CAT6 drop
from a central point in the building to each unit. This central
point would either be in the attic, or on the side of the
exterior wall in some type of enclosure.
Then we would run fiber uplink from each building's switch to a
headend room. The headend room would have the aggergation fiber
switch, a router, and an uplink to the internet.
We would hand a copper Ethernet hand off to the client in a unit,
and then the could use whatever router they wanted, or plug their
computer in directly to the wall.
I think all I need is a switch per building (not a router), and
ideally this switch needs to have:
- At Least 1 SFP fiber uplink port. 2 would be nice for daisy
chaining, but not required.
- 4 to 8 Copper Gigabit Ports. I don't need POE output power on
these ports.
- SNMP For remote monitoring
- CLI or some sort of web based remote management
- Temperature Hardened or able to be in a hot attic
- Some sort of L2 port isolation or private vlans where other
subscribers can see each other. All traffic goes in and out of uplink
- Rate limiting for each individual port
- Full duplex speed and wireline switching is preferred.
- We be nice to be remotely powered using PoE in, but not
required. Might be hard however to get power to the attic or side
of building.
So far, options that come to mind are:
https://routerboard.com/RB260GS <https://routerboard.com/RB260GS>
for $36. Looks like a good option, but not sure about SwitchOS.
Worried Mikrotik won't continue to improve switchOS. Feature set
seems limited. Not sure about port isolation options? Says it
support Poe-In for power. Temp range looks good. No CLI.
https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-x-sfp/
<https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-x-sfp/> $72. Double the
price of the Mikrotik. OS seems more robust. Seem more like a
router than switch so might be overkill for application. NO
Poe-IN power option, but could I used a passive poe injector to
still power it remotely?
https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgepoint/
<https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgepoint/> The EP-R6 is about
$105. Looks like its basically the edgerouter-x-sfp but in an
outdoor case, and this model supports PoE Input. This smaller
unit doesn't seem to have any fiber slack management like the
other units in the edgepoint lineup. Includes POE injector to
power unit.
I was thinking maybe a GPON ONT per building that has 4 to 8
Ethernet ports on it. However, there are no small GPON OLTs out
there. Plus, most outdoor ONT's are like $250+ each.
What else is out there? I would say price range would be sub $200
per building max.
