5.0 out of 5 stars Well Made Manageable Ethernet Switch
I had previously been using a different brand of switch that I had gotten off another site, but it died. I did some research and settled on this Ubiquiti switch. I couldn’t be happier. It’s a very well-built switch, not cheap at all. It was easy to configure and works great. The GUI is well done and makes configuration a snap. The only complaint I have is that the switch did not initially get a DHCP address to manage it with. I had to plug a laptop into the switch using its default IP address to initially configure it (even though the GUI said it was set up for DHCP). After assigning it a static IP address on my LAN segment, everything worked perfectly. I have now updated its firmware to the latest version and it just keeps humming along. It’s also quieter than my previous switch, so that is a nice plus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product for the price point!
Awesome switch. Super easy to setup and runs like a champ, disclaimer I am a certified network engineer and work on network equipment for a living. Noise and heat don’t bother me and it in a non ventilated area connected to my room.
Have this connected to a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite, and it brought my ping time down by 8 ms to the public internet even through a hub hop before hitting the EdgeSwitch! Although for measure I was using an old 16 port hub and a all in one wireless router before installing the EdgeSwitch and EdgeRouter.
I wish the CLI was more like other well known enterprise players as I hate GUIs, but this was easy enough to work with that it wasn’t too bad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Puts your packets where they belong
I know enough about networking to get me in trouble. And this switch has more settings than I even come close to understanding. Anyway, this purchase started with looking for home-use security cameras. Ubiquiti’s cameras checked all the boxes, but they had some different POE requirements than were offered by my current switch. So I purchased this one to get ready for the cameras, mounted it in my network rack and got to work setting it up. The UI is friendly and easy to use. It’s been working flawlessly for months and after purchasing two of their WAPs I’ve become a fan of this brand.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ubiquiti makes me sad
I’m a network engineer who owns and operates hundreds of Ubiquiti products across five states. I have almost every model of their EdgeRouter and EdgeSwitch products along with a dozen wireless access points and Unifi switches and controllers sitting here next to me right now.
I’m tired of the shoddy software, the lack of support, and the toxicity and abuse from this company.
Where do I even start?
Ubiquiti is big on marketing, hype, and social media, but sad on support, updates, fixes, and improvements.
Marketing of Ubiquiti products is often intentionally vague, and it can be difficult to figure out exactly what features are supported and what is being improperly implied. There’s a huge number of undocumented hardware and software limitations, such as the ERX having a maximum routing throughput of 500Mbps, the ER12 being limited to 700Mbps in certain bridging and VLAN configurations, the ERPOE5’s ports 3-5 performance issues because of it’s switch, the ERPOE5 not having a VLAN aware switch, some devices are constantly running out of storage space (ERX), the ER-Lite’s failing USB drives, and on and on and on and on and on.
I’ve long suspected that Ubiquiti uses paid shills to post pictures of their products on twitter, facebook, and reddit. Some of their resellers are also strangely involved with the different communities and forums. Don’t fall for the hype.
Ubiquiti PoE usually isn’t 802.3 standard. Some products are 802.3af/at/bt, some are passive 24V, some are passive 48V, some are passive 12V. Which product supports what? Who knows. Their marketing docs won’t tell you. The community has raged about this many times so they finally made a FAQ article about it, but it’s out of date and hasn’t been updated in years, so some products are missing. Countless numbers of devices have been destroyed by plugging the wrong wireless access point into the wrong switch or power injector.
There are significant disparities between what can be configured through the command line and what can be configured through the Web GUI. For example, OpenVPN has no GUI support at all, but is a highly used and advertised feature. Routing protocols are also very difficult or impossible to configure from the GUI. Troubleshooting from the GUI is almost impossible because there’s no way to get many logs or output from status commands and counters.
There are a significant number of configuration commands which are simply broken, resulting in errors such as “The specified configuration node is not valid” or “Set failed”. Copy pasting to/from the serial console is not safe or reliable. Sometimes random characters will get lost and the configuration will get corrupted. Holding down the space bar while doing a “show configuration commands” will often result in garbage output.
Early EdgeSwitch models didn’t even come with a serial console port. Bonkers.
Security issues abound. For example previous EdgeSwitch OS versions had hidden SNMP “public” writable community. It was over a year before they fixed it, and only when some news stories picked it up. Lots of unpatched security issues, privilege escalation exploits, and design problems.
The official forum is toxic. Some time in 2018/2019 they replaced it and now it’s even worse. Questions and comments are regularly censored and deleted. Most questions and bug reports go unanswered. The forum is where hope goes to die.
Most models have no bootloader recovery method, and the “factory restore” procedure leaves custom files and confirmation on the device. A “factory reset” doesn’t do a “factory reset”.
Committing configuration changes often takes 20-30 seconds, even on high-end models. Using punctuation when naming Port or Address Groups can cause serious bugs. EdgeRouter DDNS doesn’t actually work.
48-port EdgeSwitch Lites failing en-mass. 48-port EdgeSwitches blowing power resistors and having other serious electrical problems. Unifi AC AP Lite being fried/burned while plugged into EdgeSwitches.
The ER-Lite has a longstanding well-known unfixed problems with UDP packets being dropped/re-ordered/corrupted. Policy routing doesn’t work, documentation abandoned. The vbash shell job control is broken. You can background a process with “&”, but “jobs”, “fg”, and other job control commands are missing. I’ve had issues where disabling VLAN interfaces did not actually disable the interface and it was still running. Doing a “clear ip ospf process” doesn’t actually restart the process. If a new interface is created, such as an IPSec VTI or ethernet VLAN/vif interface, OSPF will not begin advertising the new network, even if it has a network declaration statement. You can’t create a firewall rule with multiple source and destination ports. There no 802.11ad/LACP support.
The list of issues bugs and unfinished or non-existent features just goes on and on and on.
Do yourself a favor and just buy something else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Managed switch performance at unmanaged switch price
Great value in a managed switch at an unmanaged switch price. I’ve had Cisco managed switches for years, but the inability to get updates and upgrades left me at a dead end.
Despite the low price, this is a decent package with port mirroring, support for AAA, RADIUS, Basic protection against DOS and simple routing capablities.
Like basic Cisco switches at IOS 12.x, there’s no Netflow support. That’s a minor disappointment but it can be found in the router appliance.
Configuration is dead simple: plug in an uplink to any port, and it will assign an address via DHCP. Log in via the web interface. It’s fast and easy to configure. Download the latest firmware update from Ubiquiti, upload and assign then reboot. Unbelievably easy.
Create VLANs, assign ports: basically, go nuts. Throughput is excellent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good performance and value, very loud fans
Works well, and Ubiquiti did a wonderful job packing a lot of value into this box. The only issue I have with it is the loud fans. I wish there was a way to turn them down without voiding the warranty.
Anyone have any ideas?

5.0 out of 5 stars I needed a rackmount POE+ switch and this looked like the best I could get with 24 ports
I needed a rackmount POE+ switch and this looked like the best I could get with 24 ports. All 24 ports have power unlike many other cheaper options. You have 250 total watts to play with so just add up your power and it will handle it all. Power ports up to about 34 watts each. The computer interface is way more advanced than I need but what I need out of it works perfect. Money well spent super quiet too. My UPS is so loud that’s all I hear out of my rack. Have full confidence in this switch

5.0 out of 5 stars Great switch from a great brand
Great switch, should meet my needs indefinitely into the future unless I have some crazy need to upgrade to 10gbe in my house.
Do note that this switch does not integrate with the Unifi management console. I rather wish I had gotten the unifi 24 port POE switch for this reason but that’s my fault for not figuring this out before purchasing.
I love being able to attach a PoE small switch at any port in my house to get additional connectivity without needing power bricks.
