Hey guys, I'm looking for some information on the link between the number of ports on a switch and the power consumption. Looking at 3560 series switches for use on my home lab collapsed core/distribution layer.
So I'm looking on ebay for some older layer 3 cisco switches but I couldn't really find any concrete information about average power consumption of switch ports though. I just had a few questions and figured you guys might know a thing or two about switches.
Does a 48 port switch consume a meaningful amount more power than a 24 port switch?
Does shutting down a switch port make it consume less power than an active switchport?
