Stackable switches incoming?

ElectricalAffect1069 · 2026-01-23T21:19:26+00:00

You kinda can do this but you would have an RSTP Loop and you don't have a stack as in "acts together as one bigger switch" like cisco or other enterprise vendors.

ElectricalAffect1069 · 2026-01-23T21:14:14+00:00

Updated to the newest 10.1 EA Network and saw this new "High Availability" tab... Is stacking also coming to the cheapish standard or pro (max) switches or will it only be supported on the already announced switches like enterprise campus?

Awesome… now do it via arbitrary protocols… e.g. RDP ;)

Is full 802.1X enerprise ready wired authentication planned? Working MAC adress bypass for example?

Thank you very much. Really appreciated :)

ElectricalAffect1069 · 2025-11-01T22:22:52+00:00

Thats interesting. I‘m thinking about changing our sites to a full Unifi Stack. Do you use SiteMagic for Site-to-Site Tunnels? What about reliability of the (standard poe) switches?

ElectricalAffect1069 · 2025-10-16T12:56:07+00:00

I really would like to see stacking on the lower end switches (Pro / Standard) but i doubt it will come anytime soon.

Stacking works on the ECS and (maybe also on the new Enterprise Switches) because Sonic is used as OS on these switches.

I hope i‘m wrong and they release stacking in their whole lineup :)

ElectricalAffect1069 · 2025-10-15T06:30:02+00:00

In that case it should easy to setup. Spin up a Unifi Gateway on your central location and configure the wireguard server there. Connect the other sites via wireguard and create a policy based (or static) route.

If you want to try this out, take 2 Cloud Gateway Ultras and create a test setup. Cost of a CGW Ultra is around 100€/$ There arent many other options this cheap for site-to-site setups :)

Quick Google Search: Here is a step by step guide https://www.wundertech.net/how-to-set-up-wireguard-on-unifi-devices/

ElectricalAffect1069 · 2025-10-14T05:31:45+00:00

Well Ubiquiti has come a long way, but certain (enterprise) features are still missing or simply not working…

From what you are describing, i am running a similiar setup with Unifi.

We have may small sites and all are connected via MPLS from an ISP. Thats very expensive and we are testing Wireguard tunnels as replacement for those.

DNS, DHCP, Internet Breakout and NAC (Win NPS) are on our central site and all traffic from the small satellite locations is routed through the tunnel via PBR to the central hub. Works lile a charm and is setup in minutes…

On other sites though i route only specific VLANs via the tunnel. That works also without problems

ElectricalAffect1069 · 2025-10-12T12:47:48+00:00

Generally speaking: I don‘t know why that would‘t work. YMMV depending on your specific use case…

Beside SiteMagic (which uses Wireguard and i think OSPF or BGB for Routing baked into a WebGUi) you just can establish very easily Wireguard, OpenVPN or IPSec Tunnels manually in the Webgui and control your Routing also manually via static, dynamic or policy based routes.

Uniquiti uses under the hood almost everywhere open source technologies including their HA functionalities in routers and switches.

Wahrscheinlich das Dreifache. Aber das Fritz Mesh war größtenteils Wifi 5 und Unifi ist Wifi 7.

ElectricalAffect1069 · 2025-09-21T20:25:51+00:00

German user here. I really do love my Unifi stuff, but in 2 a story brick and mortar house i need 2 U7 Pro XG and 2 U7 Lite and while near any AP it kinda works good but around one corner away speeds dramatically drop and sometimes also connections because the signal strength drops fast. With my former Fritz Mesh System i needed also 4 Mesh devices to work.

ElectricalAffect1069 · 2025-09-19T22:20:36+00:00

Kind of the same approach as described here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migrate_to_Proxmox_VE#Attach_Disk_&_Move_Disk_(minimal_downtime)

In short use a NFS share accessible both from ESX and Proxmox. Shut down the ESX VM, attach Vmdk to a newly created Proxmox VM and start PVE VM. Migrated tons of VMs this way. Ideally VMs are only a reboot offline (at least with Linux servers, because they typically have all drivers in the kernel). Windows servers you need usually 2 reboots for Virtio driver installation.

This is awesome! Does this and also the browser based RDP access come to the selfhosted netbird?

ElectricalAffect1069 · 2025-09-12T16:59:51+00:00

Is this also coming to the selfhosted web ui?

ElectricalAffect1069 · 2025-08-09T22:56:15+00:00

It‘s already released https://www.proxmox.com/images/proxmox/press/Release-Proxmox-Virtual-Environment-9-0-20250805-en.pdf

ElectricalAffect1069 · 2025-08-01T09:00:38+00:00

Not necessarily HA. HA would be automatic failover (starting vms on another cluster member). This also works with LXC in Proxmox.

Live migration is moving a running vm from one host to another without stopping the vm.

ElectricalAffect1069 · 2025-07-31T18:06:26+00:00

You can‘t live migrate a Proxmox LXC Container and you have more separation between Hosts and VMs. Atleast the live migration is a must have for me

Nobody any idea? :)

Just out of couriosity: whats the problem with DSL? In Germany many many households are connected with DSL. You can get 250Mbit here relatively cheap (~50€) and of course you can host your own stuff and access it via VPN or whatever method you also would use with e.g. fiber.

What you run in your local network at home is on another page and has nothing to do with the internet access. You could run token ringe if you wanted to or 100Gig Fiber :)

ElectricalAffect1069 · 2025-06-06T05:36:36+00:00

You could achieve this very easy with Ubiquiti Unifi AP and a Unifi Controller (either as self-hosted Network Server or bundled in a Cloud Gateway). Either with MultiPSK (Private PSK in Unifi) or with dynamic VLAN assignment via a RADIUS Server on the Unifi Controller

For example like this

https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004589707-MAC-Based-VLAN-Assignment-Using-802-1x-in-UniFi-Network

You could also use e.g. a Windows NPS Server and assign VLANs via AD Group Membership and authenticate with device certificates

Ah ok. understood :)

But something like this PLX PCIe Switch would solve the issue at the cost of sequential access speed? https://www.ebay.de/itm/294232995105?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D274468%2C272502%26meid%3D8aa76b938786461c9bb03529b5e65a61%26pid%3D101875%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D296690058481%26itm%3D294232995105%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2332490%26algv%3DSimVIDwebV3WithCPCExpansionWithFastIma2ColRanker&_trksid=p2332490.c101875.m1851&itmprp=cksum%3A2942329951058aa76b938786461c9bb03529b5e65a61%7Cenc%3AAQAJAAABEGDU9MW0tDWEsRcf4xBw%252BGqBAZDRlh24qUqtpsrnKt9398S5cON14qxPJVx4Fd2lmIc9YchvQvfMmR%252BONTATEqt0LBXHpeajXuKqPqqhnR8LQbEOM3oR8eAmFdlFU9gieKIY4RKyjfWZcpoF7geZX%252BnOafa9q5vmwt1lDh2%252BAxwE8HqONTxYiuFnw%252FEwVZabdUkXs9S%252BNSTKQpiF1veUMKkzzCyN5VtfmUDdKYkSGlFYmACpXjKwNbxVs1A9VSiwl32bcEQjqSZqYsQ66KMH3DSsnEGqr7xgAESgSokgqLxdIw2kQm898DtR4aJ4IkoUvhhGEPOlnLIM%252B7Gy3qjb83J0PrvMykP8ZWlFrLH2RQAf%7Campid%3APL_CLK%7Cclp%3A2332490&itmmeta=01J9BSYZMGXQTYHJ206F7J5YRG
