WEBVTT 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:06.240 I have been waiting for this for 00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:13.799 so oh Jesus I have been waiting for these switches for so long holy sh balls 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:19.400 I remember when we got the first inkling that ubiquity was making 100 Gig 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:22.800 switches back in like 2019 2020 it's 00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:27.599 been that long for us to finally have 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:30.279 one on hand to test out this is the ECS 00:00:27.599 --> 00:00:35.800 aggregation it stands for Enterprise campus switch and you know aggregation I 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 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 00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:49.079 honest here this is a pretty big box for 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:56.520 a network switch are those rails they are rails got a hardware kit 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:56.520 here power cables we'll get to that in a 00:00:58.199 --> 00:01:04.199 minute there it is boys and girls oh my 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 00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:14.159 redundant power supplies on the ubiquity switch we've wanted it for so long and 00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:17.360 look at this a redundant hot swappable 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:20.159 power supply but why is there only one 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 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:32.479 power supply so 550 Watts 100 to 240 volt that's good 00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:35.840 not that much power but remember this is 00:01:32.479 --> 00:01:38.439 not a PoE switch so in theory shouldn't 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:44.079 need that much anyways just a little nice that's got 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 00:01:47.479 --> 00:01:56.360 have I been waiting to put two power supplies in my ubiquity switch like this 00:01:52.479 --> 00:01:59.439 ain't no way hell yeah brother how many 00:01:56.360 --> 00:02:02.000 is that 1 2 3 4 five five fans and 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:08.679 they're hot swappable this is Enterprise baby you guys finally did it slow clap 00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:12.000 for ubiquity I promise I'm not being sarcastic I'm actually just excited that 00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:16.879 we're finally here great I mean these are just little they're Delta fans 00:02:14.440 --> 00:02:24.840 little single ones here very cute and then here this is the money maker around 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:30.959 this side boys and girls we have 48 25 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:33.040 GB sfp28 ports along with six qsfp 28 00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:37.239 100 Gig ports that works out to a combined 3.6 terabit per second of 00:02:35.239 --> 00:02:40.920 switching capacity in this bad girl aside from all that there is still the 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.159 traditional ubiquity little screen on the front which I'm sure is a 00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:48.319 touchscreen you know surprisingly not like a bunch of extra ventilation this 00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:52.440 is a pretty normal ubiquity amount there's no there's no extra on the side 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 00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:03.720 key Enterprise where it's just a shelf that they sit on this will probably be 00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:06.040 the actual rails that actually slide in 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 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 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 00:03:19.239 --> 00:03:24.400 just like these are just name brand rails I don't remember what other 00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:29.400 machine I saw with Kings slide rails but they are a company that makes rails for 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:33.040 other companies from Taiwan the one thing I can potentially see as an 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:38.959 improvement Point here is adding little studs on this guy so that you can put 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 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:48.840 why do we have two because this new Switch amongst a bunch of other things 00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:53.480 which I'll mention later has multi-link aggregation which if you're not familiar 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:58.360 it allows you to take one device like a server or another switch and Uplink it 00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:02.159 to two other devices pretty much every other switch vendor on the planet has 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 00:04:04.519 --> 00:04:10.760 not look through the cable accessory box we have one cable the other cable for 00:04:09.720 --> 00:04:16.759 the other power supply came in the power supply box so that makes sense we have 00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:19.799 oh nice lips in right there you get your 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:23.360 power cable plug it in and then Loop the 00:04:19.799 --> 00:04:26.240 cord in the little thingy tighten it now 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:30.000 you can't accidentally yank this out not all switches have this some Dell ones 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 00:04:32.960 --> 00:04:39.199 know if is better than this this is pretty pretty easy what else is in here 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 00:04:41.880 --> 00:04:51.759 instructions nope doesn't say about that see you 00:04:46.520 --> 00:04:55.280 later screws for the rails nice more ear 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:58.039 things that's it man I think the only 00:04:55.280 --> 00:05:02.600 thing left that's missing on this switch is a dedicated management 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 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:15.320 it araba they have ether lighting which is different when you have SFP and qsfp 00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:18.639 ports because there's no like thing to light up they just made the little 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 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:29.039 you ready oh there's no RGB it's just our sponsor 00:05:26.919 --> 00:05:32.800 vessie thanks to vessie for sponsoring this video they offer all kinds of 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:36.800 stylish functional shoes for everyday

00:06:13.479 docomo buddy that's how you network and 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:17.120 now this is all hooked up and ready to try out I've got the firmware updated on 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 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:26.280 this is a mini Forum ms01 it's a small 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 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:33.720 connectx 6 dual 25 gig card which will 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:40.720 allow us to Uplink this computer to both of these switches I know for UniFi this 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:43.080 is unheard of but now M leg it should 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:47.039 just work uh right now I just have the switches connected with one 100 Gig 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 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 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 00:06:57.039 --> 00:07:01.879 the top one that only has one power supply it says the second power supply 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 00:07:04.520 --> 00:07:11.960 both power supplies but one is unplugged it just says 0% but it doesn't say 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:17.240 unplugged or anything like that so ubiquity I know you're watching this so 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:23.199 probably fix that here's a further test I want to take it out like mid 00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:26.520 operation now will it complain no it just says not installed so there's 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 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:33.960 power um I'm not too mad about that but 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 00:07:38.280 --> 00:07:46.479 that you're thinking is a backup isn't installed or failed or somehow lost 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:49.520 power now let's try the UI I suspect the 00:07:46.479 --> 00:07:52.400 M lag thing is under Port manager I do 00:07:49.520 --> 00:07:57.280 kind of wonder if the speed has to change in groups of four or groups of 00:07:55.319 --> 00:08:02.319 two if you've ever used one of their Enterprise xg2 24 switches which has the 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 00:08:04.440 --> 00:08:10.039 of them they both have to run at 25 gig 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 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:17.680 switches a lot of the time it'll be like four individual ports will be grouped 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 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 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 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:36.279 I suspect it will not work because this 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 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:47.600 there we go okay so it did it did light up okay let me put it 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 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:57.760 hell what is this magic I mean don't get 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:59.440 me wrong it would be sick if all of 00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:03.959 these ports could be independently controlled between 25 and 10 gig like 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:11.560 the Dell switch that we have in the server room is not like that when you 00:09:06.920 --> 00:09:14.320 have any port set at 25 gig all of the 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 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 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:27.519 maybe they're grouped in twos I don't know just for reference usually 25 gig 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:33.760 ports are grouped in fours because it's like 100 Gig connection can split into 00:09:30.079 --> 00:09:35.279 four no it turned on so the one on top 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 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:45.200 in the dashboard that there's a limitation I think that might just be 00:09:41.920 --> 00:09:48.120 left over from the XG 24 uh it's 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:50.920 probably just anytime that 25 gig is set it shows that warning but it doesn't 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 00:09:55.240 --> 00:10:01.760 think we call this big big thicky 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.120 switches stacking optional combines the 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 00:10:06.640 --> 00:10:11.880 and then we have multi-chassis link directly connected ports between the top 00:10:10.079 --> 00:10:15.640 and bottom switch to form the M leg and forward traffic increases throughput 00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:23.800 aggregating ports increases redundancy okay set up so I picked 53 and 54 on 00:10:18.880 --> 00:10:26.200 each hit save so far this UI is very 00:10:23.800 --> 00:10:30.560 nice and easy and then Target devices membership so Target devices is where 00:10:27.920 --> 00:10:35.200 you would configure a client whether that be another switch or a computer 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:40.560 which in our case we are using a computer so let's go ahead and configure 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 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 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 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 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:04.079 do the magic behind the scenes um it 00:11:02.680 --> 00:11:07.639 would be cool if there was like a loading indicator that popped up in the 00:11:05.959 --> 00:11:11.839 top right like Hey we're processing this change or something like that just so 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 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:22.279 configure this box now to have a link aggregation and then we'll see if the 00:11:19.040 --> 00:11:25.200 sauce works now that we've got our minis 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:28.200 Forum connected I can set up a link aggregation says Target device 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 00:11:30.560 --> 00:11:37.639 configured on the target device I just configured the lag on the target device 00:11:34.560 --> 00:11:41.240 so in theory now in a moment or two it 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:44.680 should pop up and say yo dog you're 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:46.079 lagreg gated hey connected look at that 00:11:44.680 --> 00:11:52.720 this is now running across two switches that's 00:11:49.560 --> 00:11:54.440 pretty cool I mean I know that it's we 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 00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:02.920 is crazy I'm so excited now they have a 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:07.680 proper redundant option for like a high-speed core switch not only is this 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:11.880 their first like 100 Gig offering but it's also pretty compelling package they 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:15.040 actually built out the feature set before releasing it which is really cool 00:12:13.800 --> 00:12:19.360 it's got redundant power it's got redundant cooling I don't know if 00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:23.079 there's anything to complain about here aside from the lack of a dedicated 00:12:20.959 --> 00:12:30.480 Management Port how much does this thing cost this is $4,000 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:33.320 us so if we have two that's $8,000 Us in 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 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 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 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 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:57.720 send bigger packets with less overhead uh which is usually something you need 00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.880 to do well less so these days but 00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:03.800 frequently in the past something you need to do to be able to achieve speeds 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:06.600 like this but 1500 MTU across both 00:13:03.800 --> 00:13:12.000 switches like 50 gig these are only 25 gig ports that means it's using both 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 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 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:24.440 and move it to a single switch that way to achieve the full bandwidth of both 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:28.040 cables it will have to cross the links that go between the two switches it 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:32.120 should be exactly the same realistically we're not even close to put pushing 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 00:13:34.560 --> 00:13:40.800 says use MC leg group to configure aggregation I guess there's not really 00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:46.880 any reason you you should do what I was just proposing other than to just try 00:13:42.839 --> 00:13:48.440 this out but that's interesting it would 00:13:46.880 --> 00:13:52.680 be cool if you could name the aggregation devices in here I know that 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 00:13:55.440 --> 00:14:00.560 that automatically applied to the ports itself I like on Dell's enter price 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:05.279 switches that you can basically put a description on anything which is very 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:09.079 helpful ubiquity you should do that that would be great so I'm going to unplug 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:14.720 one port from each of these devices we'll unplug this mini Forum from the 00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:20.560 top switch and then I'm going to unplug this minis for them from the bottom 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 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:31.560 test now that traffic is going to have to go you know through this cable across 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 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:39.160 still works yeah okay everything's fine 00:14:37.160 --> 00:14:45.399 we're traversing our multi chassis links like nothing even happened lovely if I 00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:46.079 plug these back in will it just pick up 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:53.279 the speed without having to restart the test 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:54.519 47 gabit very nice for the amount of 00:14:53.279 --> 00:15:00.440 setup required if you already had your devices 00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:05.759 like computers or servers or switches already plugged into to both ports 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 00:15:07.079 --> 00:15:14.759 stack mode because that sounds pretty dope and okay I wasn't really sure what 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 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 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:30.160 switch though I'm GNA have to open it LTT Store Precision screwdriver set I 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:34.240 like while I take these things apart it would be good to mention that they are 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:39.839 layer three switches so they are going to have vrrp which is basically a 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:45.000 redundant routing protocol available soon and then also bgp on these switches 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:50.800 which is pretty cool I think they're not in the current Network version coming 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:52.600 soon kind of vibe so who knows when that 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 00:15:54.279 --> 00:16:01.880 tested you can use this as a router run a network on the individual switch have 00:15:59.319 --> 00:16:06.800 it be DHCP or DHCP relayed if you want I'm very curious to 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:12.519 see what type of switch chip is in here because when they originally made the 00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:17.000 kind of like demo Early Access version of a 100 Gig switch which like I 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:22.040 mentioned before was a long time ago uh it 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:23.639 used not like a tier one switch chip so 00:16:22.040 --> 00:16:30.399 not from like broadcom or anything like that it was from a less common SLP 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 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 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:44.199 switches of this size it looks like the reason for the empty space here is so 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:48.319 the power supplies fit and plug right into the board show me what you've got 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 00:16:50.199 --> 00:16:56.720 Ethernet Jack I swear to God if they 00:16:53.759 --> 00:17:02.920 worked in the functionality to have a management port and then decided not to 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:05.400 put it on oh my God that would be so so 00:17:02.920 --> 00:17:09.160 silly looks like they got a custom PCB here for the fan power and fan control 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 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 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 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 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 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:36.039 looks like it could be socketed which would be interesting I 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 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 00:17:45.080 --> 00:17:51.039 is the computer that runs this switch you see there's a memory slot there and 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 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 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 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:11.200 mean usually the high-end switches from other companies are also built in a 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:16.520 modular fashion like this at least to some degree 00:18:13.320 --> 00:18:20.240 hey look at that there's a Kingston RAM 00:18:16.520 --> 00:18:23.400 stick it's a 16 GB ddr4 3200 megga 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:28.400 transfer stick and then that's an Intel 00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:29.320 c3558 R CPU four cores four threads 2.4 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:34.919 G base clock and it's 17 Watts it's from 00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:36.760 2020 it's not a crazy CPU by any stretch 00:18:34.919 --> 00:18:40.440 of the imagination I don't know what kind of like throughput there is between 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 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:50.159 imagine it's not doing a ton of fancy routing stuff this computer module over 00:18:48.320 --> 00:18:53.120 here is like this I guess because they're going to use this platform for 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:56.919 other things but I found out the switch actually runs Sonic which is an 00:18:54.600 --> 00:19:00.280 open-source switch operating system which is really cool so this little 00:18:58.760 --> 00:19:06.120 computer here runs ubiquities management software and Sonic and allows those to 00:19:03.360 --> 00:19:10.799 work together and use this Sonic switch with ubiquity controller and to manage 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 00:19:12.840 --> 00:19:21.159 because seems like a pretty obvious choice the question then is what switch 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:22.720 chip is this using Marvel this is a 98 00:19:21.159 --> 00:19:28.080 CX 8514 a I mean that's great they're a big 00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:32.000 name switch chip manufacturer I don't know if people classify them as like the 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 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 00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:45.799 that you could swap it but I guess if you had an issue with the soldered 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 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 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:57.799 budget but if you're looking for a topof 00:19:55.120 --> 00:20:03.360 rack switch that has multi- chassis link aggregation and you need 25 or 100 Gig 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:07.720 seems like this could be a decently affordable option I'm happy that they 00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:11.120 did most of the feature stuff before they released the switch if they had 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 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 00:20:18.520 --> 00:20:24.120 excited to see what other switches are going to have ml come to them because 00:20:22.159 --> 00:20:27.400 that's pretty sick feature so if you like this video like the video get 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 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:35.840 Gateway Max kind of a different vibe than this but if you needed a cheap 00:20:34.520 --> 00:20:42.559 controller cuz you spent all your money on six switches I kind of doubt it makes 00:20:37.919 --> 00:20:42.559 sense but maybe maybe it's an option
