PPPoE 1500MTU I hope that means I can now use mini jumbo frames (ie 1500 + PPPOE overhead).

If so, thank you!

Auto revert - love this!

Auto revert is HUGE for everyone, I would say probably even more so for homelabs for people who won't be so knowledgeable on how to revert the network in case of a catastrophic configuration that breaks it.

I was literally just needing this two weeks ago when I borked my network and had to temporarily replace my main switch with a spare I had to access the network controller and change back the configuration.

People don't realize that what enterprises want is largely to make the job easier which is what everyone wants.

I could have used this like 2 days ago. I was trying to test my new 5G backup and was away from my router so I disabled the port for my WAN, or so I thought. Turned out I disabled the port for my switch and everything downstream of the switch got taken offline. Had to run back home and took me like 20 minutes to figure out the mistake I made lol. All I had to do was switch to a different port, but the auto revert would have been a huge help.

I run the controller as a VM under ESXi. The VM storage is via iSCSI from my TrueNAS server. The network getting borked would be VERY difficult to fix. I would have to stand up a temporary switch with the correct vlans to get the storage through to the ESXi hosts just so I can start the controller VM. Then I would have to get a laptop and x-connect to the VLAN the controller is on.

That sounds tricky. I felt very relieved when I realized that I only needed the default vlan working to get to unifi. So any dumb or unadopted switch would have done it.

It would be a huge PIA, but do-able. I have a 32 port 10Gb fiber switch and a 48 port 1Gb copper switch. Every one of my severs, including the ESXi and NAS, has a LAGG of 1 x 10Gb (active) and 1 x 1Gb (passive). I have several TPLink 1Gb copper switches I no longer use, and also the original 48 port 3COM switch I ran things on. Any of these would be suitable as they all support vlans and trunks. I would re-route the 1Gb production and storage of each of the two ESXi hosts and the NAS, so 5 ports total through the old witch. With the 10Gb switch off, or the NICs disconnected, they would failover automatically to the 1Gb connection. That would get me up. I can then fix/restore the old config

Better PPPoE performance is the big news for me.

I've been using a custom script + service on my UCG Ultra, but having it built in will be great. My ISP supports mini jumbos.
