Switches 3 and 4 are single points of failure. The other 2 & 5 are completely redundant unnecessary.
You can just use 2 switches total, cross-connect each to upstream, and do vLANs/subnets to isolate the traffic downstream.
Edit: if you really wanna do physical separation and you want redundancy you’d want to connect 2&5 to both routers.
Honestly tho textbook network with that many nodes for so few devices is already overkill for home, so doing that many switches is just… Idk man, doing full stack troubleshooting for an hour while everyone’s just trying to watch a movie is gonna do more hatm than good.
Whoever implements this should probably spin up a ticketing system for the house.
This isn’t redundant, it’s failure points with extra steps.
Yes. I see two obvious ones of Switch 3 and Switch 5. Did an AI make this? If so, it wasn’t a good one.
care to explain more? of course the redundant configurations haven’t been enabled, so you can see STP doing it’s thing.
if everything is done right, then where’s the failure point?
well how so?

yeah true it’s a satire topology btw
imagine running high end switches and routers just for your kids.
@recursivethinking@lemmy.world did a better job of explaining it than I could have.
