- I bought a cheap tiny switch for the bunker,, as I wanted it to fit in the tiny rack,, in the bunker.
It has 8 ports of 2,5Gbit and one 10Gbit SFP+ uplink port.
As sayed in the video,, my Patrons supplied the funds for this switch,, so Thank you,, and here is where you can become a patreon supporter : / myplayhouse

For 3$ a month, you get an extra weekly "What's UP" update video. Just for my Patrons. The Support I resave on patreon is all used on stuff to make interesting videos on RUclips.
My PlayHouse is a channel where i will show, what i am working on. I have this house, it is 168 Square Meters / 1808.3ft² and it is full, of half-finished projects.
I love working with heating, insulation, Servers, computers, Datacenter, green power, alternative energy, solar, wind and more. It all costs, but I'm trying to get the most out of my money, and my time.

Mount it sideways so it can breath - thanks for the video! Have great day!
:-) "breath" I think you are giving this cheap chinese switch a bit to much AI credit... :-)
I know what you mean...
you need more monitoring and a flat floor in the bunker but it is progressing - 2.5 is a good addition with jumbo frames you should get 230mb/s or so, do add hepa pos pressure vent and that will take care of humidity issues when coupled with dehumidifer
It's work in progress,, we are getting there on tiny step at a time :-)
cheap D-Link work well and also their managed ones are very cheap. Also, Mikrotik are a bit more expensive but you have good optioins with SFP/SFP+
If you add up all the stuff I wanted for this switch,, the options got very limited.
10Gbit uplink
SFP+ uplink
Minimum 8 ports of minimum 1Gbit ports
Managed
Fit in my tiny rack. (this did not fit where I wanted it but still)
Affordable (this is a for fun project,, trying to keep the prices down)
I use a similar switch, also with 8x2.5+1x10G, but unmanaged one. No problems whatsoever.
Hi @romanrm1
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
putting the switch in your "rack" will block the air-vents on the sides.
Yes it will,, I believe I mentioned that..
Great video Morten…
Maybe you find DC/DC power supplies for the switch and the de-humidifier so you can switch of the AC part of the battery- avoidance of switching/conversion loss
Would be fun to see
Yes,, I need to step down 12v to 9v to the de-humidifier,, just haven't gotten to that yet :-/ and I need it to run in a timer on/off or even better a humidifier sensor,, on/off.
Also on amazon there are these tiny fanless 2.5 gbe that have 10 gb sfp+ for linking with fiber cables
øhh that was the one I got ???
@@MyPlayHouse no, there are some others on amazon that are probably better for build quality, but they cost a little bit more (just 10 euros) + most of them are unmanaged
It might have not liked the Poe pass through from the unifi wall ap, I think you can turn it off in the unifi controller
First thing I thought of was PoE
I have also been thinking that,,, I was probably lucky I did not break anything!!
👍
Little progress!! :-)
What you need is a mini UPS from China it gives you 5/9/12v outputs i have 4 of them and they are great....if you want the model number I can give you
Very interesting,, never heard of an mini UPS,, I googled it,,, interesting which one do you use?
@@MyPlayHouse I use the DC1018P they are so flexible and supply cables to match, I have 4 here they are very versatile for what yhey are...
Love the video, been wondering how you would do the networking, could you 3rd print some ears for it and have remote temp prop?
I still need to dig in the rest of the pipe where the fiber and power will come in :-)
This is a good TL-SG108E Is has its own management mode
Sorry,, what does that mean ?
@@MyPlayHouse TP-Link TL-SG108E
@@MyPlayHouse Greater control and security than a basic switch, only slightly costing more than the lower-end model of the similar name(non-E version)
Great Video ! Move the electronics away from the floor, please ! Does the bunker ever flood with a few inches of water ? Sump pump ? Stay connected ! tjl
It should not get flooded.
Doesn't the switch uses more power/watt when there is network connection / data transferred in progress?
I am sure it does,,, most of the time it is not going to be doing much,, we will see again when I get some traffic on it..
Have you tested the through put of the switch , that its is possible to to pull the 2.5GB from each port , also Dose the SFP port require any particular Type Of SFP ? Since these things have there own firmware installed on them .
Sold out on AliExpress
What you saw, was what I did,, I have not tested any more than that. (witch was really not much of a test, more like does it work at all)
I put in a standard SFP+ ,,, I think this will take more or less anything,, it´s the big brands that are picky and only want to work with there own SFP's
I can still buy more if I would want to...
Maybe you can flash the switch with openwrt firmware. What is the chip names. Flash?
Okay,, I did that 10+ years ago on the LinkSYS :-)
What do you use the bunker for?
Tiny Data Center,, and playing around with what it can be used for..
Let me know if I can print a new mic mount for you.
Thank you :-) I do not think the think can be fixes,, I am trying with superglue,, and some tape,, if that does not work, I´ll get a new one,,, it 350,- dk-ish
The mic took the fall and saved the camcorder,, kind of my first equipment lose in over 10 years,, not complaining!!
I had the same problem with the unifi in-wall AP. We plugged a TV into the left port and it works, plug it into the right and the AP turns off.
Maybe it has to do with the POE settings of the unifi in-wall AP,, it might be on or set to auto..
@@MyPlayHouse That is why I bought a switch with only half POE ports. That way there will never be an issue.

Not quite :-)
Would you not be wary of Aliexpress networking gear? Because of spying concerns? I've heard of cheap Chinese network devices sniffing your packets and sending it to foreign servers.
you like "old comrade paranoid" but now comunist are west
U could always not let it connect to the internet.
You can block these servers if you have a dns or a stupid firewall
It's not keeping me up at night!! but it would be irritating to be part of some bad bot net.. My data is not important enough to sniff..
