Can you multiplex 5+ ethernet lines such that one of those is selected mechanically or by detection of a signal on that line?

Network Engineering

Hi all I'm a relatively new electrical engineer who's been asked to take 5 Cat 5 data lines and feed them to a hub which selects one of them upon receiving data in that line to send to a computer. As it is now, they have to unplug the one they're currently using and plug in the one they want to use. They want a solution where the cables stay plugged in and one input is selected based upon receiving data on that input (or manual mechanical control).

Coupling and Cohesion: The Two Principles for Effective Architecture

ByteByteGo

Every large system that spirals out of control starts the same way: small, functional, and deceptively simple. However, as the system evolves, things spiral out of control. A feature is added here, a helper function squeezed there, and a “temporary” dependency for some urgent task that never gets removed. Months later, debugging requires going through five layers of indirection, and touching one module can break the entire system.

Redundant router-switch connection

Network Engineering

I have the following network: Gateway1 is a dedicated server with Juniper vSRX VM, Switch1 is Juniper QFX5xxx. There are multiple VLANs set up on the servers, so interface mode on the switch is set to trunk. Traffic inside a certain VLAN goes through the switch. InterVLAN traffic is routed through the gateway which has IP address in every VLAN that can be used as a default route on the servers.
