Question about Ubiquiti Flex Mini 2.5G
Question: I would like to operate 2 Ubiquiti in the house for the time being. I would like to realise the following: - Fibre optic with modem in bridge mode - Connection of Ubiquiti No. 1 to modem - Connection of a mini PC to Ubiquiti No. 1 - Via internal house network (LAN) to the 2nd floor Is this the right switch for me? So the following consideration: - Connect fibre optics to modem, modem to port 1 of the switch - Port 2 to Ubiquiti No. 1, feed this with PoE Injector - Port 3 to Mini-PC - Port 4 to house LAN on the ground floor, and then tap off on the 2nd floor and connect to 2nd Ubiquiti via PoE Injector then I would have all ports occupied and it should work, or are my considerations wrong?

Helpful answer
Your considerations are basically correct, but there are a few things to bear in mind:
1. fibre with modem in bridge mode: the modem should be able to be connected to port 1 of the switch without any problems.
2. connection Ubiquiti No. 1 to modem: Port 2 could be used for Ubiquiti No. 1, but you must ensure that the PoE injector is inserted correctly, as the switch itself does not output PoE, but can only receive it.
3. connection mini PC to port 3: No problem as the switch supports 2.5Gbps.
4. connection house LAN on the ground floor and on the 2nd floor: Port 4 could be used for the house network on the ground floor. For the 2nd floor, you could use another PoE injector to feed Ubiquiti No. 2.
However, the switch only has one PoE input, no PoE outputs, which means that you need a separate PoE injector to supply Ubiquiti No. 2. So your ports are fully occupied, but the configuration should work if you use the PoE injector correctly.

Should I need more connections, which would be the right switch? Or can I also operate 2 of these switches in parallel if I need an additional connection?
