Re: Help! Need Ideas for Home/Office Setup... quote:
Well, my question still stands, can someone recommend a 1Gbps switch that has 24/48 ports which doesn't include a uplink port?
Gigabit spec specifies all ports are MDI/MDX, so no uplink needed on any gig switch. |

| Well, I just needed a uplink port because, I have 48 ports or would you say 48 wall connections, and need one to connect the switch to the router, this is where the uplink comes into play... |

1 edit | ...As shdesigns  stated..all the ports are auto MDX. They will become uplink if hooked to another hub/switch/router. No specific uplink port needed.
Edit: Also, there is no need to get a gigabit WAN in Brooklyn. Nobody is giving you gigabit anytime soon...at least before that router is ancient. 10/100 will be just fine for the future, at least 10 years out I'd venture to guess. Unless you're planning on getting some sort of OC in there.

| Well, I understand that part where I could just use a regular port as my uplink, but I don't think your understanding me, I need 49/50 connections counting if I have 1/2 uplinks to my router, meaning I have 48 connections not counting my uplinks...
And I wanted to host some of my own servers, FTP & Web & DNS... |

| said by Tonice2007: I need 49/50 connections counting if I have 1/2 uplinks to my router, To do that you have several options:
1) Single switch with enough ports.
2) Stackable switch modules to get enough ports.
3) Use more then one switch to get enough ports.
