I can't imagine deploying it in whatever is considered a "medium" business.A small business is constantly exposed to online threats. In summary, Cisco SMB gear is fine for genuinely small businesses. Getting phones into the right vlan may seem at first a bit of a mission, but it's a small learning curve easily navigated. You cant just "switchport voice vlan vid" - you have to configure and manage the voice vlan from priv exec mode using the #voice command tree, or via the dedicated section on the web interface. The Voice vlan is a totally separately managed entity. The general consensus online is that smartport profiles were invented by Satan, and I can sympathise with these views. For example, Smartport profiling seems like a good idea in concept, but then you realise BPDU Guard/Filter settings are reset by the smartport profile every switch reboot, and that auto-smartport isn't very smart. It has it's unique quirks that take some learning. In general, using the terminal on SMB gear is pretty much reserved for troubleshooting and you get all the meaty work done on the web interface.

Security is as-good, can be upgraded to be better QoS is present on the switch, which to me is a better solution. Other than that, we have :Ĭonfig is decent, nothing missing compared from Ubiquti. The router has less capacity, but this is a 元 switch (albeit with static routing, but I don't need more then that), so I don't need router on a stick. They do Cisco Small Business, and will do a nice discount, if you press for it a bit. The answer I got, after a few rounds was : So, I called my old contacts from the enterprise world, and asked for a quote. I have experience with Cisco networking gear, but know this is out of their price range - so I wanted to take a look at Ubiquiti, mainly due to a lot of positive comments on reddit.ĭecided to mak a small config for my office, and have a whirl - since I have a new office and need some networking gear anyhow. Some of my clients / partners have growing needs, are starting for form a call centar / sales team, or any other structure involving a large number of business users, so I wanted to be able to offer support. Background: I work as a sort of a MSP business - more "devops as a service" really.
