What do you guys even use these big switches for?

I feel like I have a pretty comprehensive setup but I have 10 ports hooked up of my 12 port switch, 1 for every major room in the house(5), 2 for my office and 2 for the servers and one for input. And honestly I only use 2 room ones so I have 3 that go unused.

I can’t imagine the level of insanity that would require 48 ports for home use.

They would use 10 ports, and have 38 port redundancy, lol.

No, the real reason would probably be to have like 20 security cameras.

Those 3750Gs are beasts though! Fully L3 capable, and every feature you could possibly want in a switch from 2008. For my final project in college I actually used one of those as my core switch and pushed it to the max using it for redundancy, routing, etc. and it just shrugged as I was simply using it for what it was built for

Well… I have a few server, that all have 2 port (IPMI and Normal Ethernet) that’s already 10 port, plus my Desktop, plus the link nto the router, plus storage management of a JBOD (2 ports) that’s already 14 ports, and then I want to do stuff with POE Rasberry Pis (or similar) and I also have a few AP that I can now try and have fun with! I won’t use the 48 ports, but 24 ports were more expensives where I live… so, I took this one!
