What basic features and protocols are the Edge stuff missing (certainly BGP)?

"War story: If we change the wifi password, all our ubiquiti access point will reboot and the wifi will be unavailable for the next 10-30 minutes :D"

This is how it used to be. When I update firmware, all our Apps don't go down at once, they go down sequentially, one at a time.

I've never seen a reboot to change an SSID password.

Well, I only have Wifi access points, I don't know what will be missing from switches/routers.

I'd have a doubt about these features for instances: 802.1x, some VLAN stuff, rate limiting/traffic shaping, ACL, OSPF, BGP, LCAP.

And even if they're adversited as "present" in the datasheet, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are fully functional. Plus there is no CLI for the configuration.

"I've never seen a reboot to change an SSID password."

I've never seen that except with ubiquiti. And I guarantee you that ALL access points do reboot at the same time. To add to the pain, they take > 10 minutes to come back online so it's really painful.

Perhaps look at your controller software, enable some of the Update settings. Because I guarantee you that the three APs I have here will reboot, one at a time, in sequence. And when they do, it's <2 minutes (with AP AC Pro v2s).

There's no CLI for configuration? You really haven't done much research - there absolutely is, based off Vyatta/VyOS/JunOS.

In fact, most of the "advanced" functionality is CLI-only.

I use: VLANs, traffic shaping, ACLs, LACP. RIP and OSPF is supported but I don't use. 802.1x and BGP are not.
