Does anyone know if they've announced the same thing for their EdgeMAX gear?
This is really dumb, these are the kind of shenanigans that people buy non-consumer gear to get away from.
- ocdtrekkie 7y agoSafe assumption is they'll add it eventually to all their hardware. But given the reaction they got here, they'll get the opt out setting done before they spread it to other devices.
- ericd 7y agoThanks for your thoughts. I’m hoping that the more “serious” bent of the EdgeMAX stuff (much of the functionality requires dipping into CLI) will cause them to hold off there. I’m assuming most businesses would find this unacceptable. But maybe you’re right.
- ocdtrekkie 7y agoWell, I think the amount of CLI config required, means most EdgeMAX users won't think much of having to add a "disable telemetry" command in their configs: They already have to add like all the basics manually to begin with. But the other thing is, since UNMS devices like EdgeMAX and AirMAX are intended for mass deployment by ISPs, there's a decent chance UNMS will reveal and aggregate that telemetry data and allow UNMS users to see it themselves for their own troubleshooting and diagnostic purposes.
- ericd 7y agoNeat, thanks again, you clearly have dug more into these devices than I have :-) I haven’t tried UNMS (mostly for multi-site deployments/massive overkill for home use?) but hopefully that means that it’ll be fairly easy to disable.
