If all you want is a “consumer level” router with one WAN connection and a single LAN with 4 switch ports (similar to the ER-X WAN+2LAN2 single LAN config), the RB760iGS “default config” has presets for all the controls, but then it you want to modify it in any way, there really aren’t any great examples. On the ER-X when you load a new version of firmware it essentially keeps the old version/configuration around until you manually delete it, and it is easy to switch system images (it is very similar in concept to having multiple boot partitions on a disk with the ability to switch which is the default boot partition.)Īfter I got the RB760iGS (hEX S) and tried getting vlans configured, I found the “man vs woman” control panel picture and edited it to replace man with “ER-X” and woman with “hEX S” I am not sure which one I copied from, so I can’t provide attribution, but here is my result that I sent to my co-worker, along with the comment that he had put a hex on me. About the only reference to the microSD on the hEX S is for use with the Dude, and I don’t think that works with v7 (yet). On the other hand, the hEX S does have a microSD slot and USB port, but I am not aware of any possibility to boot from that. We have “standard configs” that work with the ER-X to Cisco corp head end, so to expedite things, the ER-X I had at home was recalled to be used at the branch, and I was given the hEX S (RB760iGS) as a replacement, which has very similar hardware to the ER-X (same SoC, same RAM 256MB, but substantially less flash (16MB what were they thinking? vs 256MB on the ER-X). When the official network admin got the hEX, it wasn’t obvious how to get it to work with a site-to-site vpn from a dynamic ip using gre/ipsec and ospf. I had a “spare” ER-X at home for a VPN connection to work, but it got recalled for use at a branch that needed a “quick” working solution.
And right now, getting them is near impossible (unless you don’t mind paying much more than MSRP). I spend quite a bit of time on the Ubiquit forum in the EdgeMAX section (tag).
