Thanks for the reply!
I do not need something very smart. I use today the PowerBox Pro and, at least for now, it works as expected, but I have other plans for it since it runs ROS and can do much more than being a simple managed switch. Also, the PB Pro does not inspire a lot of confidence regarding the way it will handle the outdoor conditions on the long term. It does not have any sort of seals or anything like that. Yes, the design makes it so that rain or snow cannot get it, but the ethernet ports have no protection at all against moisture. The GPeRx4 looks way more robust and has rubber seals to prevent moisture-related issues.
I know that hAP AX has the same design as PB Pro and it also outside, but if this fails it’s not really a huge issue. If, on the other hand the PB Pro fails, then cameras will fail as well and there i have bigger issues because they are part of the security system as well as included in many automations (like access gates opening based on the cars number plates).
My use case:
- camera 1 –> vlan 10
- camera 2 –> vlan 10
- wAP AX –> vlans 10, 20 and 30
The goal would be to use ETH1 as uplink to another switch.
I don’t mind if clients of the wAP AX cannot connect to the cameras.
Thanks again for the help!
Below the topology. The cameras (VLAN 10) will connect to the NVR and automation server that are plugged in the bottom switch. The wAP AX clients will also connect to the other parts of the network (and internet) via the switch.
