Just as reminder: EdgeOS, the OS on Ubiquiti routers (a Ubiquiti-internal Vyatta fork) is NOT what runs EdgeSwitches. I remember reading on their forums that we can assume (strong CLI similarity w. Netgear) that they run a branded Broadcom FastPath switching software. Netgear managed switches definitely run on FastPath (do an snmpwalk). FastPath itself often runs on top of an embededded Linux. For Ubiquiti's wireless stuff, I agree, they don't do everything as good as other big players, but at the price tey offer their devices, they offer a lot bang for the buck with ease of management. I've given a look at the EdgeSwitches but the following downsides made me a bit hesitant: - Almost no documentation, no CLI reference manual (yet). Cisco, HP, even Netgear have such documents, they are not only handy, but quite essential to look up i.e. default behaviour. Not all mentioned do top-notch documentation, but at least it's there. - No console port current shipping models, though I've seen they strongly considered adding one in future revisions. On a managed switch with CLI, it's quite a must (at least for me) - Fan control seems ot be absent, they tend to run quite noisy > > They are incredibly fast though, and Dave Taht (cero-wrt fame, > bufferbloat project) has been working with the directly to get fq_codel > added in. For the EdgeOS yes, they seem to be loosely tracking and sometimes even contributing back to the open source Vyatta fork VyOS (by looking at the VyOS release notes). -- Mathieu --- Diese E-Mail ist frei von Viren und Malware, denn der avast!
