yeah. 'works with unifi controller', they mean 'only works with'
<andi->
That probably means it has an API of sorts that we just wont see documentation for
<gchristensen>
you can probably ssh to it

ah, external javascript. The CDN myth hits again.

i have one ubiquiti ap. not sure if i would buy another. if anything, just not to support the vendor lock in that i can't stand professionally.

mine sometimes drops IPv6 RA's towards the radio interface.. reboot helps.. happens ~1x year

I am not looking at OpenWRT right now because that would mean I need another way to deploy configuration to devices running some kind of custom firmware. If there would be a nice way to cross-compile OpenWRT images with Nix I'd probably use it. I am not going to maintain an imperative workflow for these things.

Googling for that device also brings up weird reddit posts about port profiles and not actually supporting VLANs
<gchristensen>
is it not brand new?
<cransom>
to be fair, being managed doesn't say anything about what the hardware supports.
<andi->
I could imagine they support a different native vlan per port
<andi->
and one trunk for uplink

trapeze/aruba, the main mode back in the day was tunneling everything back to the controller. i could see that their box here does the same.
<andi->
ouch
<andi->
well but for wifi controllers that kinda makes sense in some situations
<andi->
I am tempted to just invest 29$ and play with it but there is already sooooo much on my list
<cransom>
most situations, it's fine/wanted. a central point to manage traffic flow with your firewall.
<andi->
I wonder what one should buy these days..
<hexa->
for what use case?
<andi->
as an unexpensive device that does VLANs, has proper management (via SSH v2; not v1 ;) potentially supports a bit of ip routing, potentially vxlan vtep's...
<hexa->
vxlan .

Unexpensive

Yeah, your cheap "sdn" switch from tplink
<hexa->
Not sure such a 🦄 exists
<cransom>
when you start adding in enterprise features, there's no longer an inexpensive.
