This project would never end and I will never get to share it! So here we go 😉 I got three switches. Two from ubiquiti(aggregate & 500w POE 48port) and one 100g mikrotik switch. Running most of my servers on 25G and primary nas/server on 100G. I even ran a fiber to my desktop for that sweet 25G laser bits. I got 4 servers. All running V4 Xeon with different levels of horse power. Two dedicated Pfsense boxes on redundant configuration. I use Proxmox as my hypervisor, then I run truenas, k3s on top of it. All of this consumes about 700w. I know it’s alot and main server consumes half of it. POE switch takes 100w. Other three servers and the pfsense only consumes 300w. My next project going to getting rid of the monster but I need ton of PCI and 12bays for drive 💸. Maybe I’ll invest on solar instead 😅. Feel free to ask any questions.
what devices are you running on your PoE switch? AP’s and CCTV I assume?
IP cams, I got three APs. One dedicated AP to connect to my dash cam, Raspberry PIs(octo print etc), Lora gateway, other small poe powered switches, and finally, google fiber media converter. I love POE because it makes things so much simpler and very reliable. The best part is I can put a UPS behind it and expect everything to run indefinitely!
