@Pete-S huh - I'm sure prices are some higher now.. but $200 for a 24 port switch seems high, not low - but JB will just tell me to shutup and go away now...
I think it's low because it's a managed switch. You can get smart switches and unmanaged for less.
Yeah, $200 feels pretty low to me.

The Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 24 LITE (non-PoE) is $240 MSRP.
I'd definitely prefer this. And it has a remote controller that is hosted for free (see other thread, jaja.)

TP-link have that as well but it's not something we're going to use since this is for an OOB network.
Putting the console port on the back of the switch is a deal breaker for us however.

No, the would be the UniFi Switch line. EdgeSwitch has none of that. Well, maybe it does now that it is called UISP? They could have that hosted for people also. I never looked.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. It's free and they host it for you. We've been using it for a few years. It's really quite nice. It's different than Unifi, which I can't explain. But it does a good job.

I have home users on this, too, and it makes managing their firmware updates SO easy.

I've been using UNMS since it came out. They rebranded it to UISP a couple years ago. I had no idea, or forgot, that they had a free hosted version of it.

Yeah free hosted version as long as you have 5+ devices attached to it.

And they aren't very serious about the limits. If you are a vendor, you'll have enough to do it for free easily.

I almost have enough devices with just my personal stuff!

Exactly, it's not hard. Especially when the simplest devices count. Buy a couple for your lab and voila.
