Dont sound like I should mount this to a tower …

 

The package with SFP+/DC in and this housing looks good but if it is not stable 
it is not usable. Maybe they need some time to get it sorted out.

Mine failed to boot after a few days/weeks/months.

 

I've read that people lost bandwidth through them, not sure how, but simply 
doing an iperf through your switch should meet those needs.

 

Run a few office PCs through your switch and see if that works for a few days.

What about their new Edgeswitches. EP-S16 looks great for tower deployment. Is 
it stable/performant and able to power e.g. SAF Integra?

I don't think I ever saw a 5 port failure. 

 

The 8 port models were very different, and did NOT like brownouts. The power 
system for them internally was poorly designed.

 

Not the best SoC they could have picked either.

 

That said, it was their first 2 switches out of the gate.

We tested this extensively and experienced a lot of random issues with their 
switches …. Random forwarding issues was one but the larger issue was simply 
hardware failure.  Inherited some of them through acquirement (a few) and then 
also in our wireless network they were the original “goto” switch and pretty 
much all replaced now last I heard (again due to hardware failures)

Yes, that is a huge issue with them. It started the Great WISP Buffer Debate of 
$YEAR of which nothing ever came. One of the longest threads in UBNT Forum 
History.

Some were related to inadequate buffer sizes causing mixing 100 meg and 1 gig 
interfaces to have issues.

reminder?

 

The old archived emails I've found on the toughswitch problem was random 
packetloss.   But I remember someone had figured out more details, just don't 
remember what they were and haven't found an email which contains the 
discussion.  I vaguely think it might have been load or pps related, but before 
what you'd think was full load.

Fill up the bridge table and see how it responds, for one.

 

Not forwarding though, sounds like a chipset bug you'd need to catch.

Let me phrase this differently:  I am evaluating a new switch platform that I 
am skeptical of.   I want to construct a test that the toughswitch would fail 
(but a properly operating switch should pass) to ensure that this platform 
hasn't made a similar error.

 

If there are other known bad platforms I would like to include those in this 
test suite as well.

Symptom of Toughswitch is you installed one in the network.  Get rid of it.

 

Use a PowerBox or Netonix.

Could someone who is familiar with the problem with a the packet forwarding 
problems that were seen with a toughswitch remind me about the details of the 
symptoms/cause?

 

I also remember similar problems with certain other switches.

 

I am evaluating a couple of switches and want to make sure I can validate that 
this problem doesn't occur.
