discussion Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Max

Yeah, that seems a bit much. I know I got a great deal, but that's what I paid for my NIB POE enterprise.

what stuff actually needs PoE+++ levels of power? I can see gear that needs to be outside and heated to withstand crazy sub-zero temps...but what else?

also, they need to figure out a new way to say PoE+++...like, when it becomes PoE++++, call it PoE4?

It doesn't have PoE+++ out, only used for an input. So it, itself needs the PoE+++ potentially. Hook up a couple PoE++ devices to it and you will need the PoE+++ in to power the switch and all the devices, otherwise you won't have enough.

And very much agree the +'s are getting silly PoE3/PoE4 or whatever would be nice.

The latest updates on the CGM seem to have improved average throughput. My overnight speed tests have gone from 1.89 up to 2.05.

Soooo...... sanity check here.....

I've got a 3G plan with bell but typically only use 2.1G because of overhead on the 2.5G nics of the CGM..... What would happen if I plugged both the 10G port from my router into the primary WAN (of the CGM), and then one of the 1G ports into the secondary WAN and aggregated them? Would that effectively give me close to my 3G on the gateway and thus come close to maxing out 2.5G on the remaining lan ports of the CGM?

Would it create a loopback issue on the router like you get (or at least used to get) if you accidentally plugged two ends of the same cable into the same switch?

 

[sswilson]

Hrmmmm....... looks like it wouldn't be useful even if it would work. First source I found WRT link aggregation states that the best you'd get out of it would be 2X the slowest link speed so it'd be limited to 2G even if it would work.

You'd need to upgrade to the Gateway Fiber instead I think

Question for the net gurus out there......

I'm trying to configure a docker app in unraid that uses a VPN paired with wireguard and I'm having issues with connections, but now I've noticed that the CGMax appears to have a wireguard server built in with no way to turn it off?



Anybody know if this might be blocking the inbound ports from being passed, or am I just tilting at windmills?

I believe you're seeing this right when you click on the "VPN Server" tab right? It's taking you to the "Create New" screen as there's nothing else to show.

I have one setup, so mine looks like this:



Also if you go to the Insights section, you'd see it there too if running:

Yeah, that looks right. I wasn't seeing the "ADD" option at the bottom of my screen which would be what made use of the settings in the screen I posted. Guess I'll have to look elsewhere for what's causing my issues.

Probably some wonkiness with Docker networking would be my guess, I'm not an expert at all in that. Could be that unRAID is the one using the port that the container is trying to use?
