I'm outgrowing my CSS106-1G-4P-1S (I used it mostly for POE Out)
I love it. It is a workhorse, it can handle all my load like a champ and powers all my CAPs and Haps without having to power them locally and reduce cable clutter. But unfortunately 4 POE Out ports are no longer enough.
What would device would you advise me to replace it (or add another one to complement it)?
Requirements:
- POE OUT ports
- 1 GB
- switchos prefered but routeros would do fine as well.
- SFP is not really needed (no plans of using it in the medium term)
CSS610-8G-2S+IN would be perfect for me. More ports, not much more expensive BUT no POE OUT so not a choice.
Switches with POE
- CRS112-8P-4S-IN would be great but almost 4x the price tag of a CSS106-1G-4P-1S
- CSS610-8P-2S+IN seems also a good choice, but even pricier (I don't really need nor use the SFP ports)
The alternative would be to buy a second CSS106-1G-4P-1S which would be ~1/2 the price of the other solutions (and would add 3 more ports)
Did I miss any other solution?
What would you recommend?
Thanks in advance
