I'll second this. I wouldn't touch CRS for years because of weird bugs and terrible L2 VLAN config. The CRS3XX switches have been pretty stable for us (*knocks on wood*) and the VLAN configuration, while completely different than Cisco/Juni EX, is leaps and bounds better than it used to be. On

The crs have improved quite a bit from the crs1x and crs2x flavor. The new vlan scheme is much easier to configure as well. On Wed, Feb 3, 2021, 3:41 PM Dev wrote: > He feels they’re flaky. My experience is that they sometimes do > inexplicable things. If you get them to work they work fine,

He feels they’re flaky. My experience is that they sometimes do inexplicable things. If you get them to work they work fine, but Juniper works always basically. I have a CCR I’m fighting with port rate limiting, which is “supposed” to work but does nothing. No help on the forums besides “hey,

I think you want the lvd below (not above) the bms cut volts, once the rectifier powers back up the bms will automatically reconnect. Ideally you want to adjust the charge profile and float voltage, if using sla type rectifier just the float and charge current is sufficient I think. On Wed, Feb

That's kinda how I feel, but there were rumors that UBNT was going to stop selling the bare radios and only sell them in the kit with the dish, so now you'd end up with a bunch of dishes you'd just throw out.  At least repaired radios would sit on the shelf nicely. On 2/3/2021 2:33 PM, Mathew

Specifically for ICT, you need to adjust the LVD to be higher than the BMS's cut off. If you let it drop with the BMS, it's 0v and then the battery is basically gone until you reset it (like drive out there and physically push a button). Float voltage I'm told you need to change, too. Looking

Personally, I wouldn't bother getting one repaired for $600. Even at $300-400, I don't think I would, other than maybe to use as a spare, but for $600, you aren't saving enough to be worth it over buying a new one, in my opinion. On Wed, Feb 3, 2021 at 2:24 PM Josh Luthman wrote: > SWG has been
