Two switches are planned to be replaced (old hardware and I prefer have the
same management for the hardware).
The rack-space is not an issue (plenty of room) and one 24port switch might
(just) be enough, but then there would be a lack for quick expansion.
I am looking at 2 * CRS326-24G-2S+RM or one CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM
Electricity
When I disable the ports not in use on a 48p switch, does it actually consume electricity?
In other words, when about 50% of the ports of CRS354-48G-4S+2Q+RM
are in use, is the electricity consumption higher then one 24port (for example
CRS326-24G-2S+RM)?
Other relevant considerations comparing 2* 24 port switch or one 48 port switch
that I might overlook?
Thank you in advance for shining light on this matter.
