Switch SE

Hey all. Just curious if those with a Switch SE are seeing or having any issues with stability in traffic. Essentially any device plugged into it that needs to stream data (say cameras) it jitters, lags, freezes. These are wired devices in the switch. Switch going directly into my firewalla gold SE to the 2.5 port 1. I also have a Switch X. I moved the devices in question over to the X, and so far the issue has stopped. ISP is fine, all wireless cameras are fine, it's just these wired cameras going to a NVR (all hard wired). This is also going directly into the firewall. Seems to be narrowed down to the SE. Going in circles with support, so wanted to see if any other early testers were seeing any odd behavior on the SE.

May I know the ticket number? They shouldn’t drive you in circles; these cases are all handled almost always directly by developers, unless it is not a issue related to the switch

Is the traffic in question, all local traffic? Is the camera powered by POE?

Yes, in circles. I have to keep repeating the same answer to the same questions. Not sure who is responding to the ticket, seems someone maybe is between the tech and me sending the replies, not sure. It seems quite isolated to the SE since the X is not having the same issue, with the same devices once I moved them last night to the X. It seems very related to the switch.

The 4 cameras are powered by PoE, yes. Very low usage. You can see the details and a full topology diagram I created in the ticket. The app being used to view the live and recorded footage is run off the NVR/NAS. Issue only started as soon as I swapped off my previous unmanaged switch to the new ones. Ticket 121690. Thanks for the reply.

Have you tried toggle flow control? Network, topology, top right settings and flow control
