  So 12 port 2.5gbe PoE switch. Assuming 2 ports are 10gbe for stacking/uplinks?

  I need 24 port 2.5gbe so would need two switches stacked, then minimum 8 port 10gbe PoE switch.

  Without this I can’t replace my Unifi gear.

  my dream unit would be a semi-managed unit aka vi toggle switches

  12port 110watt Poe unit with per port auto Poe volt switching (12v/24v/36v/48v)

  (10x2.5gb Poe's with dedicated on/off power switch in two 5 port sections) &

  (& 1 auto vlan switch per group to work with/without Poe option)

  (&2x10gb sfp ports) &

  (a vlan toggle switch option that ties either 1 or 2 10gb spf ports to 1 2.5gb group)

  finally a large copper heatink an twin 40mm noctua exhaust fans in the chassie

  with a small power brick an a usb-c power option

  for a max of 250$

  My first priority is a FW core switch (AP’s, 2 laptop ports, NAS, FW Router, 2 stack switch ports). Targeting 10G RJ45 core PoE+ with SFP+ for stacking with other 2 other switches ( 1GB and 2.5GB) until I can afford to swap out with FW hardware.
