I am new to alot of this equipment. I am still trying to figure out a couple of things. I am trying to find out if the edge router pro 8 will can have a couple of the ports setup to run as a switch?
I would like to setup my network so that I have some isolation of the equipment via a couple of fiber connections. The isolation is in the case of static discharge or lightning in some of the network that I have running.
Having the ports for the SFP is a great add-on, however, I need the switch section to tie in some of the unifi equipment that I have already obtained, switches, NVR and cameras and plan on adding more cameras down the road so protecting segments would be a good options and cost saving.
Having the fiber isolation will help protect segments of the network in either of these events.
I don't want to have a strike take out the complete network and certain computers that are on cat5 or 6.
Please give me some idea if the edge router pro 8 can do this please.
Thank you in advance.
Jim
