The Aruba 8360-48Y6C v2 is a high-performance 48-port 25G QSFP28 network switch bundle designed for robust data center and enterprise network environments. Featuring front-to-back airflow, this 1U rack-mountable switch offers a formidable 4.8 Tb/s switching bandwidth and a 2678 Mpps forwarding rate, powered by a quad-core CPU and 16GB of memory. With 48x QSFP28 25 GbE ports and 4x SFP28 100 GbE WAN ports, along with redundant power supplies and a 32MB packet buffer, it provides reliable, high-density connectivity for demanding Layer 2 and Layer 3 network services.
For home use, a simple unmanaged Gigabit switch is all you need to expand your router's ports. Buy a managed switch or a switch with PoE only if you are running security cameras, access points, or complex VLAN setups. Available from $33,777.66.
Basic unmanaged network switches use negligible power and have zero maintenance costs. PoE (Power over Ethernet) and large managed switches use more electricity but are still relatively cheap to run.
Common Failure Modes
Switches are solid-state devices with high reliability. When they fail, it is usually due to lightning strikes/power surges blowing individual ports or the internal power supply dying.

Network switches are extremely reliable solid-state devices. They are usually replaced because networking speed standards outgrow them, rather than due to hardware failure.
