professional network guy here, those power supply cable retainer clips are THE bane of my existence, they're fine if you only need to do maybe 2 or 4 of them, but if you need to undo them, reaching in the back of a crowded rack, after airflow kits and what not have been installed, they will RUIN your day. NO plastic clips in the data centre, velcro all the way
@ppipowerclass
We need a main channel video that shows and explains all of the Ubiquiti stuff.
@KielMartinCisco
as a network engineer, you know i truly enjoyed this video. And after unboxing thousands of Cisco routers, switches, and firewalls, your excitement is still mine with every unboxing. It is part of our networking DNA
@DanStoneUK
The fact Jake used the word "Traditional" to describe a literal screen on the front of a switch really does show how far things have come with tech.
@samlevi4744
Jake’s got the itches for switches.
@pedifer1999
The fact that this thing runs SONiC actually gives me a tiny glimpse of trust that they will actually implement dynamic routing - I'd really love to see how their management stuff (some sort of LXC/Docker container no doubt) is interacting with the NOS. That 1GE port located inside the switch is also almost certainly connected straight to the PHY on that Atom on the control plane board
@MXF5700
As a network engineer, I still would not use Ubiquiti hardware over Cisco for medium/large enterprises, especially not in core Data Centers. I'm glad they are finally moving up in the industry.
@supernumex
The modular computer at 18:30 is known as a com express computer. It's a standardized form factor commonly used in industrial settings.
@huxcrux
This is not a 100 gigabit switch. Its a 25 gigabit switch with 100 gigabit uplinks. When you say 100 gigabit switch it usually implies that clients are/can be connected with 100 gigabit. However away from that kinda cool that to se the unifi ecosystem evolve.
@ItsQualitycontent
You guys should do a video on the main channel for mid tier homelab solution more of a showcase then anything. Things like invidious, docker containers. Opnsense with a VPN, cloudflare, vm desktop management like kasm, nextcloud with all its featurea, freshrss, plex, searxng adguardhome crowdsec, home assistant, ollama, redlib ubiquiti and so on. The amount of services you can cut with open source software for your entire family is crazy.
@barbequesque
wish you guys had a network guy that can do good graphics or a graphics guy that understands network well so you could overlay some visualizations of what jake is talking about.
@TheRealWoofer
I love when Jake gets presents! His joy makes my cold dead heart grow three sizes this day! 💗
@RGM4LIFE
Thank you for the teardown, getting that information on Ubiquity gear is extremely rare.
@etherboy3540
We're a Juniper shop and have MC-LAG set up on our core 9208 switches, but honestly I prefer how the lower end 4300-class switches are set up. We link them together in a virtual chassis, then use regular old LACP to aggregate ports from different member switches. It's just a simpler way to do the same thing.
@Consequator
Nice to see Ubiquiti stepping up their game. MLAG is pretty old already but it required switches that had a stacking feature with special 'high speed' back plane cables. I think the first one's i've done this with were Cisco 3750's in mid-late 2000's. Around the early 2010's HP and 3Com came out with switches that could stack via ethernet. LAG has been around for longer than that, but always restricted to just one switch.
@will1122
That’s not a 100Gig switch is a 25gig switch that has a few 100Gig uplinks. If I have a switch with 48 1Gig ports and 2 10Gig uplink ports it’s not a 10Gig switch.
@termiterasin
4:44 generally networking equipment is made to run with just the ears and servers require full rails. A network rack will be 2 post and server rack will be 4 post. A lot of the time it's ok putting servers in a 2 post network rack. They make special standoff adapters to let you balance a 4 post server in a 2 post network rack.
@timstreeter9795
The external CPU is a SOM(system on module) it is a complete computer in a modular package, it’s a bit more expensive but saves the hardware developer time and licensing to layout their own intel computer. The 2 large connectors underneath can hold pcie, usb, Ethernet and other IO so the developers only have to be concerned the FPGA and switch design. Also the SOM usually has a dev kit that breaks out the IO so the software developers can write the software while the hardware is being created.
@malrex0mari
Nice. These look just right for the homenetwork. 😄
