if it's coming back out of speed 2 then you're plenty fine. If it gets hot enough that it just starts staying in speed 2 all day and approaching warning temp then I would be worried
Curious is anyone using a 6450 just as a l2 switch? I'm debating being lazy and keeping my ISP's router and using a 6450 to replace a basic dell switch and give me 10g goodness.
umm...What he said.
I am using mine for the switching, POE, and L3 VLAN routing/ACL. I am leaving the firewall/routing/NAT and DHCP to an Ubiquiti edgerouter (including the DHCP servers for the VLAN's)
I have replaced the fans in a 7250-48P with some KDE1204PKVX fans. They will run mostly on the low speed and switch to the high speed for around 5 minutes around 20-30 times a day. Is it okay to let it run that close to the upper limit on heat and I should put some faster fans in there or just let it run warm?
Well I got the 2 Ruckus r720's connected to my network and did a speedtest to compare against my unifi ap ac pro APs. On 2.5 ghz, the speeds are roughly the same. On 5 ghz, the Unifi significantly outperforms the ruckus r720's. The setup for the r720's are the default setup. Maybe I need to do some tinkering with the settings. So far I am disappointed with the ruckus. I'm not getting the performance I paid for.if the Ruckus r720's are anything like my r700's you will be very happy with them. you gonna run the ZD (Zone Director) to manage them? im in a 2600 sq ft house and ended up only needing 2 and have 3 AP's sitting here.
my r700's hang off a Juniper Ex4200-48PX since my ICX6650 has no copper ports..
how much sq ft are you trying to cover with the 2 AP's?Well I got the 2 Ruckus r720's connected to my network and did a speedtest to compare against my unifi ap ac pro APs.

I am using the Unleashed controller to manage the APs.
I have 3800 sq. ft. The latest version of the Unleashed firmware 200.6.10.1.312. Not sure what is going. I guess I can run them in the standalone mode and then use Zonedirector or SmartZone controller. I thought you had to purchase a separate license for these controller and Unleashed was free. Please advise.how much sq ft are you trying to cover with the 2 AP's?
what firmware version you running?
Performance wise you should be killing the unifi stuff and ive never used the Unleashed controller.
Im running a ZD1100 which is EoL but still gets the job done. i had to tinker a bit but performance from my zd7982 and then the r700 kills the Unifi stuff as well as Engenius that i ran before that.
if you run them in standalone, you can manage them either directly on each AP or pickup a ZoneDirector (which isnt free and have to have a support contract). if Unleashed is free, id see if you can make it work.I have 3800 sq. ft.

FYI.. I have 3 of the UniFi APs.
No.. I have 80Mhz channel turned on... I don't believe I saw an option for 160.if you run them in standalone, you can manage them either directly on each AP or pickup a ZoneDirector (which isnt free and have to have a support contract). if unleashed is free, id see if you can make it work.
do you have 160Mhz channel width turned on?
These APs definitely requires some tinkering out of the box to achieve desired performance. Still tinkering on my side. At the end of the day, I still think I made the right decision in purchasing the Ruckus R720 to replace the Unifi APs.I am considering an R710 as well, your findings are of great interest.
I have an R510 and have noticed that with Wave 2 devices it performs at full speeds. However, with non wave 2 devices there are issues. If I enable the rate limiter I can achieve faster speeds than just leaving it on auto (no rate limit per station). I am trying mine at different speeds but presently have it set at 400 and all devices seem happy.

im running a 2 ruckus r700 run by a ZD (Zone Director) since unleashed isnt supported on them and since performance is really good , i havent bothered upgrading to a r710 or r720 as i dont need to chase the fastest WiFi out there.I am considering an R710 as well, your findings are of great interest.

UniFi never impressed me, ive installed probably 100+ installations of it.These APs definitely requires some tinkering out of the box to achieve desired performance. Still tinkering on my side.

yeah still have several month before my colleague leave USA, hope some sellers have good deal in this timespan.Unless seller can provide pictures of each switch and let you pick one, I would not do it. Wait for good listing even if it costs little more.
Probably almost impossible to find the PoE Daughter card if even doable. Just finding the PSUs is a bit tricky and pricey. PSUs running around 120 bucks a pop. When you can get a fully kitted out one for ~320 with both PSUs, fans, etc if you shop around it would probably just be cheaper to get a whole switch imo.For the 6610: Is it possible to add PoE functionality to non-PoE Switches e.g. adding a PoE PSU and a PoE Daughter Card ? Or is the SoC different ?
