ER7212PC and more switch
Hi,
I recently purchased additional hardware and replaced some of my older switches with Omada switches. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed to discover that the ER7212PC supports only two switches.
I understand there are technical limitations, but supporting only two switches seems quite restrictive, especially for small and medium-sized businesses. In my opinion, this limitation is not clearly emphasized on the product page. Other controllers, like the OC200, clearly state they support up to 20 switches — such information makes a real difference in the purchasing decision.
Had this limitation been clearly stated in the product description, I likely would have chosen a different controller.
I sincerely hope there are plans for a short-term firmware update that will allow support for more than two switches.
Thank you very much for your attention.
As a non-dedicated controller, the SDN capabilities are not as prominently featured as on the dedicated controllers. That said, the info is in the specs but lacks some consistency as highlighted below. Also, I don't think you can manage the ER7212PC from another controller, so if you plan expand your network it would require you to replace the gateway and add a controller.
