I'd like to give some insight to the network situation. Props to "vermicryx" for the Cisco 3850 recommendation. But, you probably want to keep switch vendors the same on any network (not doing so can cause configuration nightmares to force switches from different vendors to communicate). Plus, Cisco is pushing the Catalyst 9300 model now, which is cheaper and newer than the 3850. vermicryx's 40Gbps recommendation is also on point. If 40 Gig modules are out of scope, then 4 10Gig modules can be teamed together to acheive the same speed. I would NOT recommend pulling numerous data runs back to your switch closet. Also, from reading previous comments, I can see numerous different types of servers popping up. This is another reason to have a "access" switch in the LAN center. With a strong backbone between the "Access" switch and your "core" switch, servers can be kept where they belong.....IN THE SERVER ROOM! Additionally, after game updates have been downloaded/applied to PC's, gaming traffic should be local to the "access" switch (unless there is a game server in the server room, then a VERY small percent of the backbone will be utilized).
Connecting the switches......
Fiber is the best solution for connecting multiple switches together across a building. It also will not be affected by electric conduits (unshielded cable is not able to protect data signals from high current, but I doubt you have that issue). When you bond multiple links between two switches together for greater throughput/redundancy, you are putting the links into a "port-channel" group or "LAG" group (terms differ between vendors).
I re-watched your video on "10 Gig Networking" and saw that you were using Netgear at the time. I am unsure if you can move forward with that switch platform. Cat6A copper cables can operate at 10 Gbps speeds up to 100M (330ft). If the distance to the LAN center is under that number, GREAT! If not..........................new switches? (I know, $$$).
(Side note). I also saw a Cisco 3800 router in the rack above the Netgear......PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me that the 3800 is not there anymore! (it is extremely outdated and was end-of-lifed back in 2016).
If the idea of upgrading the network is a bit daunting (price wise), there are companies that sell "equal to new" at a lower cost.....some even offer their own life time warranty on the equipment (switches/routers/cables/SFP modules).
Community, please feel free to add to this or ask any questions. I will attach a ROUGH sketch of what I talked about. Hope this helps Linus!
P.S. PLEASE DO NOT CREATE A UNIQUE VLAN/SUBNET FOR EACH PC!!!!! Thats idiotic. If someone is scared to death about getting hacked by a friend, CUT THE CABLE! Or, turn on windows firewall.......
Indeed, there would also be an increased chance of software complications due to the fact that they would likely have to run unraid in the background further exasperating the issue, but this is a project that LMG is familiar with, and it would also require less hardware, and less setup, and it would also play well to LMG's desire for silence and space, so I see it as being a viable option for them.
While I would agree with you on the single build, multiple users. There are some pitfalls, any hardware maintenance required requires the loss of the entire X stations being run as the entire system will likely need to be shut down.
i would love to see you guys work with fiber. that could be used to connect this up to the server room. that gives you guys the room for up to 100Gbps between the LAN den and the server room. or you can go for the 40Gbps option. just thought that might be cool to look in to not many people have done that
