Nog een hoofdstuk toevoegen aan de usg vs. Edgerouter saga.
Bij een usg moet je ervoor zorgen alle wijzigingen via de controller uit te voeren. Eens je een wijziging op de controller doorvoert, gaat de controller deze ook aanpassen op de gateway switchen etc... dit zou gebeuren via een herinstallatie van de os met nieuwe parameters.
Je moet dus heel voorzichtig zijn om in je usg rechttreeks (vb. Via cli) iets te veranderen. Daar je controller en router config op dat moment niet in sync zijn. Hier is de oorspronkelijke Engelse tekst..’
1. Yes, you have IDS/IPS on the USG but current hardware was not designed to handle it. If you enable IDS, IPS and Smart Queues you will find performance to be really low;
2. If you plan on using more than one wan connection, the USG does not support it (or it does but has many acknowledged bugs with no ETA for fixes);
3. VPN performance on both USG3 and USG4 is low. Automatic site-to-site VPN is not reliable enough in my experience;
4. Unifi gives almost no option to define QoS for your traffic;
5. The USG is the weakest link in the Unifi line. The UAPs are great, the switches are decent, the controller works fine after you learn its way, but the USG is where the pain points (bugs) are.
I believe if you plan on using it at your home with only one wan connection, USG is probably good enough. If you are planning to link multiple offices/branches then go find something else, probably the ER-4 if you can find it.
Unifi is a beatiful concept. Not mature enough at the moment, but making some good progress. If you can wait a little, it may be worth it to build an all-Unifi network and enjoy the full functionality of the platform when they finally deliver it.
A few notes are important:
a. USG and ER share most of the same hardware and OS. However, the USG does not have a UI as complete as you will find on the ER. So your conf options will be more limited.
b. You can conf your USG to do all a ER can do by changing its conf file by hand. There are ways to change it and make it persist (it will be saved on the controller). However, it is not as easy as it is on the ER because you have a controller demanding certain conf options to be set in a specific way and somehow need to merge the needs of the controller with what you want to achieve.
