  We are hoping to have a limited beta release in July. (still a few parts missing, but our ODM is optimistic to get them and build a small run)

  Switch X Question: What is the 13th Port, an RJ45 on left side of the box? Main Port to connect FW router instead of using one of the other (8) RJ45 ports? Thank you.

  Firewalla support - Thank you for the fast response. I didn't see a similar port on the Switch SE

  Good question; That's the console port. We thought it is obvious, since you asked, we will go label it

  Why have a console port if it is completely managed by the app? Can that be turned into another usable port?

  I think they could fit in a few more ports if space were the only consideration. I think it's driven by heat production and energy consumption. It's also a white label device so it probably comes with the console port by default even if it's not needed.

  These are white-label (existing units from the ODM) loading our software. Not much we can do with customizing things, otherwise, you will see a cost ++ 

  And yes, Switch X power is inside the metal box, so it get a bit hot once you load all 400+ watts. Not much room for other things.
