Ubiquiti ECS-Aggregation Switch Unboxing

The Ubiquiti ECS-Aggregation Switch is a high-density, high-performance Layer 3 Ethernet aggregation switch designed for large-scale network deployments such as enterprise campus networks. It supports Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (M-LAG) to enhance network reliability, delivers Layer 3 functionality with automatic failover and dynamic routing capabilities, and utilizes Ether Lighting to simplify port management and network configuration.

Moduletek Laboratory acquired a Ubiquiti ECS-Aggregation switch for testing 10G/25G SFP28 and 40G/100G QSFP28 product series. Below, we present the unboxing and inspection process.
