Ubiquiti Security Gateway

Here is all you can do from the GUI thanks to that demo link.

So ERX to replace my existing router, and tie that into the controller I have running as a VM.

And then setup a UNMS (for what purpose?)

@dustinb3403 ERX works well

The only issue I have with the ERX is the lack of a console port and a recovery method like the ERL has.

But for the price, if it was in production (not at home) I just buy two.

NO.

@jaredbusch I just recently bought one to replace my Sonicwall so I agree though with no console port it is a downside.

I have recovered more than one ERL thanks to the console port.

@dustinb3403 You don't want a USG. Period. Ever.

It is a gimped ERL.

For personal home use, buy the ERX.

Ok thanks

@jaredbusch said in Ubiquiti Security Gateway:

@dustinb3403 To directly answer the last demo question, no. But if you have a UNiFi Controller, all you have to do it poke around the screens there a bit.

The controller lacks a lot of functionality without the ERX or security Gateway.

On a side note, the controller insists on needing a USG to enable certain functionality, does the ERX fill that requirement?

The only functionality the controller is missing without a USG is Deep Packet Inspection.

[DustinB3403]

Ok so ERX to replace my existing router, my standalone controller for my APs, my APs, and possibly a UNMS if I want some kind of central management of the ERX.

Correct?

[brianlittlejohn]

@dustinb3403 yes

[DustinB3403]

The ERX comes with a management interface much like the controller, no?

[brianlittlejohn]

@dustinb3403 It has both CLI and Web Based GUI to configure it.

No.

Correct, the management interface in the controller is NOTHING like the GUI on the ER-X. It's the Edge Interface.

[DustinB3403]

@brianlittlejohn @JaredBusch @Dashrender so what does the Edge interface look like?

I can't imagine it being so wildly different (outside of the functionality)

So last annoying question (hopefully).. . .

Why does Ubiquiti have so many different products that overlap so much?

Because stupid people buy it. I don't blame them for selling to stupid people that want to give them money.

Simple answer: multiple audiences. Different product lines are geared for different uses.
