From my experience, these cheapo Unifi switches from Flex series are bad.
They heavily drop frames under even moderate loads (well under 2gbit). If you turn on vlan tagging, they won't hanlde more than 0.1gbit.
They work well if you need to connect a bunch of slow iot devices. Don't dare connecting them to a desktop.
The Ultra series of utility switches is rock solid though.
- wil421 11mo agoThat’s not been my experience. My flex has been rock solid and it’s outside.
- pshirshov 11mo agoTry to tag a vlan on a port and pass some heavy udp traffic through it.
- thatwasunusual 11mo agoI'm a "big tagger", and I have no problem with it. I don't control the type of traffic going through it, though; from my understanding, TCP/UDP wouldn't make much of a difference?
- pshirshov 11mo agoWell, what can I say, fails for me in this scenario. Maybe the NICs on the other end matter too, but I experienced same issues on 4 different desktops with both 2.5gbit Realteks and 10gbit AQtions. All the Flex swithes I tried glitched: USW-Flex-Mini, USW-Flex-2.5G-5 (frame drops and interface going down for several seconds) and (to lesser extent, just frame drops) USW-Flex. Have no idea why but I observed that more under UDP loads.
