I have signed up with 2.G hyperfibre and have very quickly realised I can't use the bandwidth and that multigig equipment is expensive. I am likely to downgrade but want to see what I can achieve first.

 

My question is, how can I configure my home network to use the 2.5G connections with only the following items. Currently the Fritzbox is bottleneck at 1G and I at least want my devices to share the 2.5G bandwidth (even if individually limited to 1G). 

 

1. ONT - Chorus 10G PON (XS-250WX-A) - locked in route mode 192.168.1.x. I had to set IP filter to accept all for upstream (otherwise speed test and other things don't work). Firewall set to "Low". Wifi turned off. 

 

2. Router - Fritz!Box 7490 - currently set to "connect to external modem/router" and gets WAN address from ONT. The firewall is enabled. Wifi turned off. DHCP enabled for home network 192.16.15.x.

 

3. Switch - HPE 5130 JG937A - this is a corporate switch I acquired and I'm totally out of my depth - its currently connected to Fritzbox by 1G connection and I've also managed to get POE going for 3x wireless access points. I have 4x SPF+ ports with 10G RJ45 adaptor.

 

The router is a bottleneck: ONT (10G) --> Router (1G) --> Switch (10G) --> APs/PCs (1G with two PCs at 2.5G)

 

Is there any way to remove the router and configure the switch to use a vlan to provide direct connection to ONT, with some sort of firewall/security and routing to rest of network? And if so, how?

HPE FlexNetwork 5130 EI Series switches are fully managed enterprise class Gigabit switches supporting Layer 3 static routing and RIP routing, IRF stacking up to nine units high, with four built in 10 Gigabit links. This JG937A has 48 x 10/100/1000 PoE+ enabled ports and 4 x 1GbE / 10GbE SFP+ ports for high speed 10 Gigabit or Gigabit fiber connections using optional transceivers.

 

 

 

got this off the web, so your 48 port (1G) switch, the main value here is its a l3 managed switch so you could have multiple VLANs configured on different ports if you wanted to and each port is Poe+ so can power poe device, the beauty with these big switches is the large POE budget, so you can power many poe devices.

 

 

 

you have 4 10g sfp ports, so you need to get into the switch via a fibre.

 

 

 

see if you can bypass the fritzbox, as its useless now.

 

 

 

if you can get the 10g into the switch, then each 1g port has alot more potential than a 1g switch, also if you want to get 2.5 or 10g to a pc, you will need to get some sfp to rj45 adaptors.

 

 

 

also on your pc, you will need to get a 2.5g or 10g network card.

 

 

 

but your are right in the fact that 2.5g and 10g is not cheap at present.
