I have an old 3750 Cisco POE 10/100 switch that I have been using for my POE cameras. I had bought an unmanaged Gigabyte switch to manage faster data. I have a PFsense fire wall on a min PC and have have 4 LAN ports I can use. I am looking to upgrade my home network to use Vlans to separate my network.
First question, If I dedicate one of the ports on my router to a particular Vlan, can I still keep the dumn switch as long as I only plug in devices in that particular Vlan?
Second question, Since I have to pay the electrical bill... does anyone know how efficient these older 3750 switches are over newer POE switches? I was looking at the option of getting another 3750 (which are dirt cheap), or buying new switches.
Thanks.
