I just cant get config right to do trunking...What was wrong with LB6M? I already purchased it but it is still sitting in a box since I am waiting for the Fibre cables to arrive.

Way less than half. The LB6M draws about 100w idle, nothing connected. 129w in my usage. My XGs have been holding steady at 19w and I believe Patrick's review of the ES version had it hitting 40w in a stress test.I have both. If noise and power consumption isn't an issue for you then Quanta is a great switch and by far the cheapest per port. However, the EdgeSwitch is quieter and uses half the power.
Update Firmware to Give Unifi Switches Layer 3 Routing - Ubiquiti Networks CommunityIs there any ubiquiti layer 3 switch to complement this switch? So I can get rid of my dell 6224.
That much of a difference, huh? I remember another user here also mentioned this when I was debating if I should get this switch or not - mostly because it's a beta version and I needed something more reliable.I have both. If noise and power consumption isn't an issue for you then Quanta is a great switch and by far the cheapest per port. However, the EdgeSwitch is quieter and uses half the power.

Other than the Noice/Power Consumption, what are your thoughts on the stability of this "beta" device? I wouldn't mind having it for lab/testing, but to support the core backbone of my home network...I am not so sure.Way less than half.

I personally am not a fan of not being able to control the switch locally. All configurations have to be done with their controller. If your controller loses connection or you lose your controller then you have no method to manage it. You would need to install a new controller which requires a reset of the switch.Other than the Noice/Power Consumption, what are your thoughts on the stability of this "beta" device?

To add, they have a layer 3 EdgeSwitch which appears to be the same hardware. The EdgeSwitch does not use the controllerI personally am not a fan of not being able to control the switch locally.

Being very limited at best.. 493 mac and you're done switch.To add, they have a layer 3 EdgeSwitch which appears to be the same hardware. The EdgeSwitch does not use the controller

These are l2 switches.. full stop
Well , you actually have ssh/telnet access.I personally am not a fan of not being able to control the switch locally. All configurations have to be done with their controller.

Have you bothered to read the whole threat.What?

I didn't know what you meant by "493 mac" but since you clarified I understand you were referring to the ARP table.Have you bothered to read the whole threat.
The soc is limited to a 493 arp table.
This is the same for both the edgeswitch and unfiswitch.
Effectively these are l2 devices.
Btw sg300-10 ( which i have and use) have a 100 arp table soc limit
I believe once you have a controller manage the device that you can no longer SSH to it or at least when I tried the default password no longer worked. Although, even when I could SSH to it, I didn't see anywhere to see or configure it. If you know of a way then I'd be interested in knowing how.Well , you actually have ssh/telnet access.
This thing will keep running fine without the controller.
If you loose your controller, it is very simple to restore an automatic backup.
If using dns names, or returning the controller to the same ip and restoring the backup, shouldnt have to result in a reboot, i'll be testing that tomorrow on my 10g beta.
Agreed.. although mine are setup for seperated fabrics for iscsi..The switch will retain the controller settings between reboots if the controller is unavailable. And you can still SSH to it using the Site credentials that you configured in the controller (and then you have to 'telnet localhost' to get into the EdgeOS CLI). It won't persist CLI changes between reboots and the L3 stuff isn't there so there's not much point in getting at the CLI anyways.
If you don't like the controller concept, by all means, UniFi ain't for you and that's why they have the two product lines for switching and routing. I never touched the UniFi stuff before coming across this deal but I've gone all-in since -- USG Pro, APs, and I'll snag a couple of US-8s as soon as they hit retail. Single-pane-of-glass management for my whole network and not having to muck with switch CLIs was too great to resist.
As to reliability... I've had the XGs at the core of my home network since I got them and they haven't let me down yet. I work remote and pretty much my whole world revolves around the network and my servers staying up. So far, so good.
Let us know how iSCSI and storage works on these...I'm ready to pull the trigger next week if they hold up in a storage setting.Agreed.. although mine are setup for seperated fabrics for iscsi..
Getting ready to put some serious hurt on them.
Got the ac-pro's
Have been a headache , but since running the last beta's smooth as a babybutt
iSCSI with VMware works just fine. Vmotion works fine too. Pretty straight forward L2 access switches As long as you treat them as such you'll be fine. I'd use the ES version if I need core network or sg300 style networking.Let us know how iSCSI and storage works on these...I'm ready to pull the trigger next week if they hold up in a storage setting.
