Hi
I apologise in advance for the numpty nature of this networking question. Im asking about a WAN Failover solution.
We have FTTP at our home, on a highly unreliable Opticomm infrastructure (the only one available in our residential estate). I've purchased a starlink dish as a fallback plan and was going to hardwire it to port 10 of the UDM SE, which is an SFP+ port. Port 9 is connected to the FTTP connection.
My plan is: if port 9 fails for more than 10 mins, then I activate the starlink on port 10. As soon as port 9 is back, it autoselects port 9 as primary internet and I can turn starlink off. Anything wrong with this logic?
Would port 10 work for the starlink ethernet adapter cable? I guess I would need an SFP+ transceiver to auto-negotiate the starlink ethernet to 10G?
This device?
Anything else I need to know before I pull trigger?
Thanks in advance
