CRS305 Switch/NAS/Router setup suggestion and walkthrough

Mon Jan 08, 2024 8:22 pm

Hello,
I got the CRS305-1G-4S+IN, and as a networking beginner, I only use it for granted and never really understand what's going on, so I got a few questions regarding the setup.

I have a wifi router (Netgear R7800) and a NAS (TerraMaster F4-422, which has 2 1GB LAN and one 10Gbe), how should I connect the cables?
My understanding for now is my wall ethernet cable goes IN to my router first, then one cable from the router goes OUT and IN to the CRS305, one 10Gbe cable from the NAS (or should it be the 2LAN? Which is better?) to the CRS305, then one cable from the CRS305 goes to the PC. And the POE port on the CRS305 only works for a management purpose? Can I manage it using the connected cable from the SFP+ to the PC instead? Or the POE port is the only thing that can connect to the OS of the switch?

Thanks a lot!

Best,
