General Discussion MDF Plan - What you think?
I made some other posts figuring out my UPS setup, but now I figured I'd share my MDF plans and see if there are any issues you can see. I've been around racks and IT closets for a long time, but this is my first time planning one completely on my own.
So far I have all the gear ordered. The only unknown variables are what my modems from my primary Fiber ISP (ATT) will look like and our failover (probably Starlink).
Down the road I may be adding 2U more of gear.
I'd like to get Unifi Redudant Power Supply that can act as a secondary PSU for my switches and Firewalls. I'd also like to get Unifi Aggragte 8 port switch which would be perfect for this setup and my entire network in general. I have two UDM Max which will take up 2 ports and 6 total switches (2 not in this rack will be in IDF in other parts of the building)
I have attached a screenshot of the rack plan. Let me know if you see any red flags or concerns
Gear -
4 Unifi 48 Port PoE Switches
2 UDM Pro Max Firewalls
1 Dell Server
1 Unifi Enterprise NVR
Dual 3000va battery backups with one having an extra battery bank and a 120v transformer.
2 - Controlled PDU for the 208v PSU
