Hello, Im in the process of planing my new home network systems and I got stuck on an unfamiliar area.
On the house there are 2 floors(Ground floor and a basements) and 2 main central network cabinets.
The first cabinet has all the cables coming from the ground floor and some from the basement.
The second cabinet has all the cables from the basement(except from those who go the 1st cabinet).
At the starting point both cabinets has to be connected to the same isp modem.
There is a cable running between them(on starting point isp modem is on the 1st cabinet).
Both cabinets need a 24 ports switch.
The complex part starts here:
The first cabinet also holds two other 8 port switch(1 poe and one regular), the first 8 ports switch (poe) receives ip cameras cables, and the other 8 ports switch is used for the Google wifi mesh system(because Gwifi requires the child points to be on the downstream of the primary point).
My plan is like this:
ISP MODEM -> 1st cabinet 24SWITCH -> 2nd cabinet 24SWITCH
Now after all that i have some questions (also if changes on the plan has to be made in order to achieve or improve something its not a problem, Im here to get help improving it):
1. How (if its possible) can I connect a mesh point on the basement(on the part that the cables goes to the 2nd cabinet)?Can I do it virtually?
1. Do i need a stackable switches for the 2 main 24 switches?(in order to operate as a one unit)+how do you advice connecting them?
2. On the first cabinet, is possible to have a manged 16 ports switch that will have 2 subnets one for the ip cameras and one for the mesh wifi system?
3. About the mesh wifi, Can I connect the primary point to a main manged switch and on that same switch create a subnet that will connect to the output of the primary point and the other mesh child points?
also,
Can you please recommend me which switches (based on the questions and information I gave) I should get?
Thanks in advance,
Yoav
