I've got a Cisco 48-port SFP+ switch. It's way too big, I need like ten ports max to connect all of my servers and switches. What's the story with the 16XG now? I know it was terrible on release. Is it reliable and functional now? Should I hang onto my loud and hot Cisco switch, or could I replace it with the 16XG? I love Unifi management stuff and would like to replace all of my switches with Unifi POE switches.
Along the same line of inquiry, is there any real downside in the Unifi UI when it comes to just hanging on to the Cisco switch to link everything together? It's not very helpful when the Unifi switch shows dozens of clients on a single port because that port goes to a Cisco switch, but if all of my edge switches are Unifi that really isn't an issue, right? It's hard to visualize how this will work without just testing it.
