i've got one of those, and another mikrotik 10gb switch. whatever the 16 port one is. they've been working nicely. i have good luck with fiber SFP+ modules, but it seems picky about 1G copper SFP modules, fwiw.

  really i ordered cisco ones do those work?
  - sigstoat 6y ago
    like actual cisco-brand ones, or cisco compatible ones? i checked my order history, it looks like ipolex and 10gtk 1000bT copper modules have had troubles in my mikrotik switches. the mikrotik brand works fine. and every 10G fiber module i've tried has worked (lots of fs.com, and i think 10gtek, and probably some other brand off amazon)

HN community is in an endless loop of switching vendors: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18200119 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18200119 IMO using what we have intelligently is easier. Uniquiti hardware has the Edge line of routers and switches that are not cloud-controlled, not listen on any ports, and not establish any connections on your behalf.

    They all do though. And if they don't, they're all at risk to. The best you can do is make decisions that reduce dependence on them for when they fuck up. That's why I went with the edge router line to begin with. I've already planned for this situation.

  The only routers vulnerable to that exploit were routers that were deliberately configured to be open to the internet, no router with the shipped default config was vulnerable. The vulnerability was patched out in a bugfix release months before the exploit happened, so additionally it was un-updated routers at risk. That's something entirely different from what happened with Ubiquiti.

  True, I bought it because of the 10gb ethernet and youtubers recommending it. I didn't realize it was also a router with a 45 dollar license key. https://mikrotik.com/software https://mikrotik.com/software
