1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,240 I have been waiting for this for 2 00:00:03,319 --> 00:00:13,799 so oh Jesus I have been waiting for these switches for so long holy sh balls 3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:19,400 I remember when we got the first inkling that ubiquity was making 100 Gig 4 00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:22,800 switches back in like 2019 2020 it's 5 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:27,599 been that long for us to finally have 6 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:30,279 one on hand to test out this is the ECS 7 00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:35,800 aggregation it stands for Enterprise campus switch and you know aggregation I 8 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:41,800 guess that one doesn't stand for anything wow this is a different unboxing experience it opens from the 9 00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:46,840 top I kind of like that this is like how big stuff arrives and I mean let's be 10 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:49,079 honest here this is a pretty big box for 11 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:56,520 a network switch are those rails they are rails got a hardware kit 12 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,520 here power cables we'll get to that in a 13 00:00:58,199 --> 00:01:04,199 minute there it is boys and girls oh my 14 00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:07,840 God oh my God I thought at this point it was a meme the whole like having 15 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:14,159 redundant power supplies on the ubiquity switch we've wanted it for so long and 16 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:17,360 look at this a redundant hot swappable 17 00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:20,159 power supply but why is there only one 18 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:25,000 what is this there's the other one this is um it's very chill labeling for a 19 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:32,479 power supply so 550 Watts 100 to 240 volt that's good 20 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:35,840 not that much power but remember this is 21 00:01:32,479 --> 00:01:38,439 not a PoE switch so in theory shouldn't 22 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:44,079 need that much anyways just a little nice that's got 23 00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:49,840 nice click too I'm so stoked about this man you have no idea how long how long 24 00:01:47,479 --> 00:01:56,360 have I been waiting to put two power supplies in my ubiquity switch like this 25 00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:59,439 ain't no way hell yeah brother how many 26 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:02,000 is that 1 2 3 4 five five fans and 27 00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:08,679 they're hot swappable this is Enterprise baby you guys finally did it slow clap 28 00:02:06,119 --> 00:02:12,000 for ubiquity I promise I'm not being sarcastic I'm actually just excited that 29 00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:16,879 we're finally here great I mean these are just little they're Delta fans 30 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:24,840 little single ones here very cute and then here this is the money maker around 31 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:30,959 this side boys and girls we have 48 25 32 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:33,040 GB sfp28 ports along with six qsfp 28 33 00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:37,239 100 Gig ports that works out to a combined 3.6 terabit per second of 34 00:02:35,239 --> 00:02:40,920 switching capacity in this bad girl aside from all that there is still the 35 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:44,159 traditional ubiquity little screen on the front which I'm sure is a 36 00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:48,319 touchscreen you know surprisingly not like a bunch of extra ventilation this 37 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:52,440 is a pretty normal ubiquity amount there's no there's no extra on the side 38 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:57,319 it is a little different on the side because it has rail holes I don't think that they're like the rails on the cloud 39 00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:03,720 key Enterprise where it's just a shelf that they sit on this will probably be 40 00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:06,040 the actual rails that actually slide in 41 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:10,080 and out okay these look like nice rails oh yeah they're toolless I like that you 42 00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:17,680 know in a universe where you were doing things properly you would still screw them in but I don't know what universe 43 00:03:14,799 --> 00:03:20,599 that is cuz it's not the one I live in King slide oh yeah okay so these are 44 00:03:19,239 --> 00:03:24,400 just like these are just name brand rails I don't remember what other 45 00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:29,400 machine I saw with Kings slide rails but they are a company that makes rails for 46 00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:33,040 other companies from Taiwan the one thing I can potentially see as an 47 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:38,959 improvement Point here is adding little studs on this guy so that you can put 48 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:44,280 the slide on tool thisly and the best part like I said earlier is we have two 49 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:48,840 why do we have two because this new Switch amongst a bunch of other things 50 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:53,480 which I'll mention later has multi-link aggregation which if you're not familiar 51 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:58,360 it allows you to take one device like a server or another switch and Uplink it 52 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:02,159 to two other devices pretty much every other switch vendor on the planet has 53 00:03:59,799 --> 00:04:06,640 has had it forever but ubiquity has not and now they do it occurs to me I did 54 00:04:04,519 --> 00:04:10,760 not look through the cable accessory box we have one cable the other cable for 55 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:16,759 the other power supply came in the power supply box so that makes sense we have 56 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:19,799 oh nice lips in right there you get your 57 00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:23,360 power cable plug it in and then Loop the 58 00:04:19,799 --> 00:04:26,240 cord in the little thingy tighten it now 59 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:30,000 you can't accidentally yank this out not all switches have this some Dell ones 60 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:34,840 I've interacted with have just just like a cable tie looped around which I don't 61 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,199 know if is better than this this is pretty pretty easy what else is in here 62 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:44,120 oh there is still ears can you run this with just the ears I could check the 63 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:51,759 instructions nope doesn't say about that see you 64 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:55,280 later screws for the rails nice more ear 65 00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:58,039 things that's it man I think the only 66 00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:02,600 thing left that's missing on this switch is a dedicated management 67 00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:10,360 Port that's the only thing I'm kind of Going H about but let's turn it on wa is 68 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:15,320 it araba they have ether lighting which is different when you have SFP and qsfp 69 00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:18,639 ports because there's no like thing to light up they just made the little 70 00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:23,160 indicators light up that's cute do you think they light up behind too I'm are 71 00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:29,039 you ready oh there's no RGB it's just our sponsor 72 00:05:26,919 --> 00:05:32,800 vessie thanks to vessie for sponsoring this video they offer all kinds of 73 00:05:31,000 -->

I've got the firmware updated on 83 00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:23,880 all of them we got our dream machine up to date and I have a client machine here 84 00:06:19,639 --> 00:06:26,280 this is a mini Forum ms01 it's a small 85 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:31,319 core I9 Mini PC that happens to have a PCIe slot so I went ahead and put in a 86 00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:33,720 connectx 6 dual 25 gig card which will 87 00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:40,720 allow us to Uplink this computer to both of these switches I know for UniFi this 88 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:43,080 is unheard of but now M leg it should 89 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:47,039 just work uh right now I just have the switches connected with one 100 Gig 90 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,919 cable and then to the dream machine with a 25 gig cable but really it's running 91 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:55,199 at 10 gig we're going to go in and set up the M leg in the software hopefully 92 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,479 uh and at that point we'll be able to add another one of these cables so for 93 00:06:57,039 --> 00:07:01,879 the top one that only has one power supply it says the second power supply 94 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:06,759 is not installed cool so it's aware of that on the bottom one which does have 95 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:11,960 both power supplies but one is unplugged it just says 0% but it doesn't say 96 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:17,240 unplugged or anything like that so ubiquity I know you're watching this so 97 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:23,199 probably fix that here's a further test I want to take it out like mid 98 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:26,520 operation now will it complain no it just says not installed so there's 99 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:33,039 probably some adjustments that can be made there given this is one of the first ubiquity products with redundant 100 00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:33,960 power um I'm not too mad about that but 101 00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:39,800 it's definitely something they should look at improving cuz it would be really good to know if your second power supply 102 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:46,479 that you're thinking is a backup isn't installed or failed or somehow lost 103 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:49,520 power now let's try the UI I suspect the 104 00:07:46,479 --> 00:07:52,400 M lag thing is under Port manager I do 105 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:57,280 kind of wonder if the speed has to change in groups of four or groups of 106 00:07:55,319 --> 00:08:02,319 two if you've ever used one of their Enterprise xg2 24 switches which has the 107 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:07,720 two 25 gig ports on the side those two ports if you want to use 25 gig on one 108 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:10,039 of them they both have to run at 25 gig 109 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:13,520 uh I don't know how that applies to this switch if there's groupings like on Dell 110 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:17,680 switches a lot of the time it'll be like four individual ports will be grouped 111 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,280 together so if you want them at 25 gig they all have to be at 25 gig or if you 112 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:25,599 want to go 10 gig on one of them none of them can do 25 gig I don't know how that 113 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:31,640 works on this switch so if I plug this guy out of here and into this port 114 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:36,279 I suspect it will not work because this 115 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:42,479 one is running at 25 gig it's not lighting up okay what about this one oh 116 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,600 there we go okay so it did it did light up okay let me put it 117 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:54,519 back over here and see cuz that took a while oh wait it did turn on what the 118 00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:57,760 hell what is this magic I mean don't get 119 00:08:54,519 --> 00:08:59,440 me wrong it would be sick if all of 120 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:03,959 these ports could be independently controlled between 25 and 10 gig like 121 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:11,560 the Dell switch that we have in the server room is not like that when you 122 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:14,320 have any port set at 25 gig all of the 123 00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:18,680 rest of the four in that group have to also be at 25 gig which doesn't seem to 124 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:22,720 be the case here I don't know about the one directly underneath let me try that 125 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:27,519 maybe they're grouped in twos I don't know just for reference usually 25 gig 126 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:33,760 ports are grouped in fours because it's like 100 Gig connection can split into 127 00:09:30,079 --> 00:09:35,279 four no it turned on so the one on top 128 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:40,079 is at 25 gig and the one on the bottom is at 10 gig sick it makes it seem like 129 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:45,200 in the dashboard that there's a limitation I think that might just be 130 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:48,120 left over from the XG 24 uh it's 131 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:50,920 probably just anytime that 25 gig is set it shows that warning but it doesn't 132 00:09:49,399 --> 00:09:58,519 seem to be the case on this switch which is awesome okay let's make our MC leg I 133 00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:01,760 think we call this big big thicky 134 00:09:58,519 --> 00:10:03,120 switches stacking optional combines the 135 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:08,440 top and bottom switch into a single entry I'm going to try that off for now 136 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,880 and then we have multi-chassis link directly connected ports between the top 137 00:10:10,079 --> 00:10:15,640 and bottom switch to form the M leg and forward traffic increases throughput 138 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:23,800 aggregating ports increases redundancy okay set up so I picked 53 and 54 on 139 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:26,200 each hit save so far this UI is very 140 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:30,560 nice and easy and then Target devices membership so Target devices is where 141 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:35,200 you would configure a client whether that be another switch or a computer 142 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:40,560 which in our case we are using a computer so let's go ahead and configure 143 00:10:37,959 --> 00:10:43,560 and we'll say number one on both of them but I could pick a different one 144 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:50,040 potentially is that what it is I'm in number one yeah okay save hey it's doing 145 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:55,240 it there we go I guess we have a we have a m lag now hey multi chassis link 146 00:10:52,560 --> 00:11:02,680 status connected it seems like it just took I don't know 30 seconds to kind of 147 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:04,079 do the magic behind the scenes um it 148 00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:07,639 would be cool if there was like a loading indicator that popped up in the 149 00:11:05,959 --> 00:11:11,839 top right like Hey we're processing this change or something like that just so 150 00:11:08,959 --> 00:11:16,600 you knew what was going on uh but not the end of the world I'm going to 151 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:22,279 configure this box now to have a link aggregation and then we'll see if the 152 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:25,200 sauce works now that we've got our minis 153 00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:28,200 Forum connected I can set up a link aggregation says Target device 154 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:32,680 membership is not established please check that all ports are connected with the same speed and that a lag is 155 00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:37,639 configured on the target device I just configured the lag on the target device 156 00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:41,240 so in theory now in a moment or two it 157 00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:44,680 should pop up and say yo dog you're 158 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:46,079 lagreg gated hey connected look at that 159 00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:52,720 this is now running across two switches that's 160 00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:54,440 pretty cool I mean I know that it's we 161 00:11:52,720 --> 00:12:00,320 do this every day with the Dell switches but this is this is new for you mcy this 162 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:02,920 is crazy I'm so excited now they have a 163 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:07,680 proper redundant option for like a high-speed core switch not only is this 164 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:11,880 their first like 100 Gig offering but it's also pretty compelling package they 165 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:15,040 actually built out the feature set before releasing it which is really cool 166 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,360 it's got redundant power it's got redundant cooling I don't know if 167 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:23,079 there's anything to complain about here aside from the lack of a dedicated 168 00:12:20,959 --> 00:12:30,480 Management Port how much does this thing cost this is $4,000 169 00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:33,320 us so if we have two that's $8,000 Us in 170 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:37,320 ubiquity land that's crazy I'm setting up a second minis Forum so we can do a 171 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:40,839 little speed test and I just hit apply so I have I perf running on one machine 172 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:47,600 as a server and on the other I'm running it as a client it's doing 40 gbit and 173 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:53,040 this is just at 1500 MTU we're not using jumbo frames or allowing the machines to 174 00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:57,720 send bigger packets with less overhead uh which is usually something you need 175 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,880 to do well less so these days but 176 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:03,800 frequently in the past something you need to do to be able to achieve speeds 177 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:06,600 like this but 1500 MTU across both 178 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:12,000 switches like 50 gig these are only 25 gig ports that means it's using both 179 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:16,040 ports on our machines here I'm going to do something a little funky and I'm not 180 00:13:14,279 --> 00:13:20,199 going to Uplink both of them to both switches I'm going to take one of them 181 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:24,440 and move it to a single switch that way to achieve the full bandwidth of both 182 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:28,040 cables it will have to cross the links that go between the two switches it 183 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:32,120 should be exactly the same realistically we're not even close to put pushing 184 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:36,600 these switches at all oh I can't actually do that it it blocks it out and 185 00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:40,800 says use MC leg group to configure aggregation I guess there's not really 186 00:13:38,519 --> 00:13:46,880 any reason you you should do what I was just proposing other than to just try 187 00:13:42,839 --> 00:13:48,440 this out but that's interesting it would 188 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:52,680 be cool if you could name the aggregation devices in here I know that 189 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:57,320 you can name the ports but it would be sick if there was a name field and then 190 00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:00,560 that automatically applied to the ports itself I like on Dell's enter price 191 00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:05,279 switches that you can basically put a description on anything which is very 192 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:09,079 helpful ubiquity you should do that that would be great so I'm going to unplug 193 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:14,720 one port from each of these devices we'll unplug this mini Forum from the 194 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:20,560 top switch and then I'm going to unplug this minis for them from the bottom 195 00:14:17,639 --> 00:14:25,120 switch that way they're each connected only to one of them so if we run a speed 196 00:14:22,759 --> 00:14:31,560 test now that traffic is going to have to go you know through this cable across 197 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:37,160 our multi chassis links to the other one and I want to just make sure that that 198 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:39,160 still works yeah okay everything's fine 199 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:45,399 we're traversing our multi chassis links like nothing even happened lovely if I 200 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,079 plug these back in will it just pick up 201 00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:53,279 the speed without having to restart the test 202 00:14:49,279 --> 00:14:54,519 47 gabit very nice for the amount of 203 00:14:53,279 --> 00:15:00,440 setup required if you already had your devices 204 00:14:57,639 --> 00:15:05,759 like computers or servers or switches already plugged into to both ports 205 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,839 you're talking like 30 seconds of setup the last thing I want to see is the 206 00:15:07,079 --> 00:15:14,759 stack mode because that sounds pretty dope and okay I wasn't really sure what 207 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:20,360 I was expecting but it's it's just two switches on one page which yeah okay 208 00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:25,160 great I mean overall this has been super seamless I got to see what's inside this 209 00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:30,160 switch though I'm GNA have to open it LTT Store Precision screwdriver set I 210 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:34,240 like while I take these things apart it would be good to mention that they are 211 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:39,839 layer three switches so they are going to have vrrp which is basically a 212 00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:45,000 redundant routing protocol available soon and then also bgp on these switches 213 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:50,800 which is pretty cool I think they're not in the current Network version coming 214 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:52,600 soon kind of vibe so who knows when that 215 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:57,120 will be and I wouldn't buy it based on that until that feature is out and 216 00:15:54,279 --> 00:16:01,880 tested you can use this as a router run a network on the individual switch have 217 00:15:59,319 --> 00:16:06,800 it be DHCP or DHCP relayed if you want I'm very curious to 218 00:16:04,519 --> 00:16:12,519 see what type of switch chip is in here because when they originally made the 219 00:16:09,639 --> 00:16:17,000 kind of like demo Early Access version of a 100 Gig switch which like I 220 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:22,040 mentioned before was a long time ago uh it 221 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:23,639 used not like a tier one switch chip so 222 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:30,399 not from like broadcom or anything like that it was from a less common SLP 223 00:16:27,639 --> 00:16:37,079 poopular brand which some people did not like hey oh look at that it's not that 224 00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:41,120 full it's a fair bit of empty space in here I mean it's not uncommon for 225 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:44,199 switches of this size it looks like the reason for the empty space here is so 226 00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:48,319 the power supplies fit and plug right into the board show me what you've got 227 00:16:46,319 --> 00:16:53,759 whoa what's going on here why is there a land port what are you doing in there 228 00:16:50,199 --> 00:16:56,720 Ethernet Jack I swear to God if they 229 00:16:53,759 --> 00:17:02,920 worked in the functionality to have a management port and then decided not to 230 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:05,400 put it on oh my God that would be so so 231 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:09,160 silly looks like they got a custom PCB here for the fan power and fan control 232 00:17:07,439 --> 00:17:13,799 that's cool there's a seamos battery in here I guess that makes sense this is an 233 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:18,319 fpga right here field programmable gate array it's kind of like a CPU but can be 234 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:23,880 customized they usually use those on applications where it's not worth building custom silicon and still need 235 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:27,919 it to be fast and then an m.2 slot that has no storage in it I'm I'm very 236 00:17:26,679 --> 00:17:31,919 confused why there's like a daughter board that has a lot of cooling on it it 237 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:36,039 looks like it could be socketed which would be interesting I 238 00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:39,600 mean what could be under here either a CPU or a switch chip but I think over 239 00:17:37,679 --> 00:17:47,160 here is the switch chip so this must be a processor maybe oh what the hell this 240 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:51,039 is the computer that runs this switch you see there's a memory slot there and 241 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:56,840 then if you look inside I'll take this off there is another memory slot so this 242 00:17:53,880 --> 00:18:00,919 is actually the brains of this switch I don't know why it's on a daughter board 243 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:06,400 that's very very cool I guess that means you could replace this if it failed I 244 00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:11,200 mean usually the high-end switches from other companies are also built in a 245 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:16,520 modular fashion like this at least to some degree 246 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:20,240 hey look at that there's a Kingston RAM 247 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:23,400 stick it's a 16 GB ddr4 3200 megga 248 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:28,400 transfer stick and then that's an Intel 249 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:29,320 c3558 R CPU four cores four threads 2.4 250 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:34,919 G base clock and it's 17 Watts it's from 251 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:36,760 2020 it's not a crazy CPU by any stretch 252 00:18:34,919 --> 00:18:40,440 of the imagination I don't know what kind of like throughput there is between 253 00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:45,840 this board and the switch itself it's not a crazy fast CPU on its own so I 254 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:50,159 imagine it's not doing a ton of fancy routing stuff this computer module over 255 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:53,120 here is like this I guess because they're going to use this platform for 256 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,919 other things but I found out the switch actually runs Sonic which is an 257 00:18:54,600 --> 00:19:00,280 open-source switch operating system which is really cool so this little 258 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:06,120 computer here runs ubiquities management software and Sonic and allows those to 259 00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:10,799 work together and use this Sonic switch with ubiquity controller and to manage 260 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:14,400 everything which is cool I mean Sonic is great and I'm glad that they're using it 261 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:21,159 because seems like a pretty obvious choice the question then is what switch 262 00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:22,720 chip is this using Marvel this is a 98 263 00:19:21,159 --> 00:19:28,080 CX 8514 a I mean that's great they're a big 264 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:32,000 name switch chip manufacturer I don't know if people classify them as like the 265 00:19:30,679 --> 00:19:36,320 best I know people kind of have a hard on for broadc comp but yeah I guess I've 266 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:41,760 seen what I needed to see it would be cool if they had m.2 storage on here so 267 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:45,799 that you could swap it but I guess if you had an issue with the soldered 268 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:50,039 storage that's on here you could use the m.2 slot here to replace it and 269 00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:55,120 reinstall it seems like a pretty sick switch it's four grand it's out of my 270 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:57,799 budget but if you're looking for a topof 271 00:19:55,120 --> 00:20:03,360 rack switch that has multi- chassis link aggregation and you need 25 or 100 Gig 272 00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:07,720 seems like this could be a decently affordable option I'm happy that they 273 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:11,120 did most of the feature stuff before they released the switch if they had 274 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:15,360 released this and been like oh yeah ml it's coming later I'd be like I know 275 00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:20,240 that they still did that with bgp and vrp but at least that is there and I'm 276 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:24,120 excited to see what other switches are going to have ml come to them because 277 00:20:22,159 --> 00:20:27,400 that's pretty sick feature so if you like this video like the video get 278 00:20:25,919 --> 00:20:33,120 subscribed to ShortCircuit and if you're looking for something else to watch why not check out the UniFi Cloud 279 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,840 Gateway Max kind of a different vibe than this but if you needed a cheap 280 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:42,559 controller cuz you spent all your money on six switches I kind of doubt it makes 281 00:20:37,919 --> 00:20:42,559 sense but maybe maybe it's an option
