Wish I had a use for one! I love all my AP-Pro access points, but have no other 10g equipment yet

Can anyone comment on functional GBIC+ support for the released or beta model? Any luck in particular with Mellanox ConnectX-3 EN cards and passive 10g cables? Any other successes or failures? With a random mix of the cards and cables here something should work.

Also interested in testing 10gb ethernet from the Thunderbolt3 port of a Dell XPS13 9350.

Just ordered one myself. Don't have any other 10g equipment yet either, but there are several affordable 10Gbit options on Ebay.

i think so too, but maybe say offer me the "regular" price of $299 ;)
Check your order. Surprisingly they completed mine and provided a tracking number today. Makes me wish I had picked up a spare. Now to figure out what I am going to do with it since I have gone from not enough switch ports to an over abundance in the last couple of weeks with this being my third switch being bought in as many weeks

Are those rack ears in the 2nd picture? IIRC the website said no rack ears...small bonus.

It will be interesting to see if these are as picky about dacs as the edgeswitch version

@PigLover yes they're rack ears :)

I'll report back later tonight with some basic compatibility testing. I have some of the DACs that previously didn't work so it'll be interesting to see how it goes.

Can't wait to hear the results. Sleep is overrated... stay up and let us know. :)

So far my testing mirrors the compatibility (or lack of) seen in the edgeswitch. Not very surprising so I'm not too disappointed.

To save anyone who gets one some time you need at least version 5.4 of the controller. The latest should be posted on https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Beta-Blog/UniFi-5-4-3-Unstable-has-been-released/ba-p/1749956

The configuration sure is limited compared to the edgeswitch, but I suppose that's what the point of the unifi line is. Regardless I'm happy at this price.

Yeah, I am so confused right now. I was cheeky enough to order two for $0 after I originally ordered one for $299. It took a couple of days extra for the $0-order to be completed, but now it has been shipped! Surely this can't be happening?

I would hope there's full CLI access with the same functionality as the EdgeSwitch. Did you try it out?

How's the noise level?

It does say in the spec sheet pdf: Rack Mountable with Mount Brackets (Included)

So it's not a fluke. :)
