Unifi Pro Max 24 PoE - Unpack, install, configure, light up!  

You need a short DAC to patch between the router and switch, that will free up a port

oh noo, looks like I "need" one of these too 😍

Hey Lars I swear I saw you replace that 24 port PoE with a 48 port PoE..... am I going mad . Great content mate keep it up!!

Very nice video like ur style greetings from germany 😊

Great video. Any chance you could do another walkthrough of your whole farm setup with all the changes over the years? Reason I ask is I have a very similar farm setup to yours and I'm about to pull the trigger on updating to Unifi. I started with your one from a few years ago and took notes and have been binge watching your videos and updating the models, etc. where you have upgraded over time. Thanks again for all your videos

Great video, I think I might need one of these 😂

You need a mirror ball now. It would make that room a great dance party room.

Could you give the link for that cabinet in the video. Thank you

They need to offer connectors that you can attach to your own cable that work with the rgb lens.

There is a locking tab on the back of the switch that will keep the power cord from accidentally being unplugged when it is engaged. I did not see you use the locking tab when you plugged in the power cable to the back of the switch. I highly recommend that you use it.

what does one do with the old switch if provide by Unifi do you have to return them with you upgrade.

Connecting router and switch using SFP+ might be worth if you have more than 1Gbps wan. Or there’s any other escenario where your current connection is not enough?

Thanks for another great Video. It looks great and i also have a few POE++ units on my network (USW-Flex). Few questions - If you dont have a patch panel and use normal RJ45, does it show any effect ? (Where i need it i have 30 meter RJ45, not at patch panel) - Usualy unify has a day/night schedule where during the day displays are on and in the night they are off unless you tap on the display. Does this also apply for Etherlighting ? I dont think i would invest in the switch, if i could redesign my network i might. Where i need POE++ is in two shead's outside with only 6 ports, would be a bit overkill. Also does it support outside use ? If i could only have one / two main switches, yes i would invest.

Nice upgrade :) I have the 24 port PoE Pro and have considered getting the 24 Max Pro as a replacement.....just because you can :D Btw. you should get the 10gbit uplink SFP+ between your UDM and 24 Max, again just because you can :p

I'd prefer the option to dim the lighting on Ubiquiti switches

I would connect UDM and Switch with SFP+ 10G cable... Etherlight is awesome, sadly do not follow LCM screen off time, they should implement port lights OFF/ON function for every switch they have, it is crazy how my UDM glows... or my Ultra switch, need to use tape to dim it (yep, it heat up a bit)

Definitely my next purchase once I get my startech 25u rack. Can you turn the lighting off or have it on a timer? Unfortunately previous owners terminated all ethernet runs in the master bedroom. I can see this switch pissing the wife off, lol.

Surprised upgrading to 2.5gbe isnt on yoyr shortlist!

Like your video. I'm just thankful that I don't need that switch.

As a datacenter designer the question is why?? And look who much extra power it taking

Unifi does have a schedule option to turn off the little LCM screen overnight to reduce light pollution. They need to make the Etherlighting follow the same schedule.

Etherlighting could have been the greatest invention in switching in the last decade. But as usual unify makes a half baked product and forgets to add a string of pet filament in their cables so the other side of the cable lights up and could assist in tracing cables

If its similar to the enterprise24, half of those will be 2.5gbe, so mapping by port numbers might not be suitable any more. I changed the fans on my switch, as it was so noisy (after moving from a non poe switch)

Great video. You can get temp in Home Assistant or at least my switch has it. Here's what I use: sensor.usw_pro_24_poe_temperature it should be similar on your switch. Now you also need to get the complete UI look with the 24-Port Blank Keystone Patch Panel too! I have 2 in my rack.
