Cool project… for homelab stuff though, I lean towards simpler, cheaper solutions…. Like Mikrotik hardware, and low power mini PCs. I’m not hosting a business out of my house, it all functions perfectly fine.
Great, seems like a setup that works for you. I'm considering going to find one of these switches for my lab - it'll be like the 5th switch in my rack. I like playing with high performance networking, and your mikrotik isn't going to cut it for the stuff I like to experiment/play around with.
(Remember... this is a hobby where people persue their interests and experiment with things they want to know more about, not a proscribed set of exercises for just one path towards devops engineer).
Personally I don't like Mikrotik very much. It's just too easy to turn on some feature that disables offloading. I run Ruckus/Brocade ICX6610 and ICX7150 in my lab currently, though the 6610 uses more power than makes sense.
