You funny. If you think it's venom, you clearly don't get out much either. LOL. It's what us old-timers call sarcasm, look it up.
POINT: 1930 provides less feature/function than the 1910/1920 line. Plain and simple.
The lack of CLI is the reason why I commented...I was directed here by my pal TT56. :0)
As others have commented in this (and other posts), the lack of CLI isn't something the manufacturers simply forgot to include. No sir. Someone made the determination to overhaul the platform and exclude this as well as do their best to hide the fact that it's unavailable (I admit they did a wonderful job "hiding" its existence in previous series, but it was there). Make no mistake, I'm not crying conspiracy here...simply stating facts that there's an obvious disconnect between the manufacturer and its customer base. It's simple "business 101" and HPE/Aruba failed the mark (I.e., who is our customer?). As a result, those so accustomed to CLI within a "known" product line are now needing to perform repetitive steps (as one commenter put it) through a workaround (wow, that's one nifty idea, much appreciated).
In closing, if one doesn't "whine", it further perpetuates the underlying issue of the manufacturer not ever knowing their clientele. And that, when compared to whining, also doesn't help. I suppose I'll just slowly transition away from a platform I've used for 10+ years and go with a competitor -- one continuing to include such features within their "value" line offering -- without ever stating reasons why (it'll be my secret). Better yet, maybe I'll go spend more money on the upper level product line for something that used to exist in this one (yeah, this direction sure beats whining).
NOTE: This post was built using low-level sarcasm v1 (venom was unavailable at the time of creation).

I didn't see a post from you in this thread, so I have no idea where your venom is coming from.
If you take a patently obvious characterization of human behavior in markets as "utter nonsense" then I can only say, you don't get out much.
The rest of the comment features some good irony, starting with "I'm not that guy" and moving on to complain that you're not getting as much for your money as you expect.
Well, in any case, if the shoe fits, wear it. I'm not happy with the switch either, but whining won't help. There's a Cadillac alternative four clicks away for 75% more dollars per port.

Sorry, but your inference that "everyone always clamors..." is utter nonsense -- I'm not that guy nor are the many others who've gravitated (not by choice) from the 1910/1920 series. Outside of the "useless" cloud functionality, this 1930 is a step backwards in many more ways than one (IMHO). Now I regret all of the comments I've made about the 1910/1920 GUI being "old hat" and the more I experience, read, research, find, the more concerned I get about introducing these 1930s into a small business production environment.
Going along with this show (I.e., Hello reseller, I need some 1920s. What's that? I have to buy this white 1930 model? It's the next version in a long line of stable entry-level smart switches? Welp, OK...), I most certainly expected the same (or more as you put it) options, features, functions on the 1930, but it seems the hardware biz is following the software side. Maybe it's me, but anyone who's appreciated this push from from on-prem to cloud and perpetual to subscription clearly isn't the one paying (attention to) the bill. It's just another endless cash grab. All you gotta do is look back to days of ole when paper was out and plastic was in...yeah, look where that got everyone. SMH. Think it might be a good time to get out of IT and into the logging business. LOL.

The switches still offer very good value for the money. Everyone always clamors for ever more bang for the buck, I know, but these are competitive "value-line" switches just as they are. When they do add the firmware feature upgrade for the GUI functions, especially VLANs, I would strongly consider buying another one. But I wouldn't buy one based on estimates or reassurances in a community forum. Ubiquiti showed everyone how that works out.
I always consider that what I see is what I get. Take it or leave it. If I hav only days to make a decision, and a mission-critical configuration element is missing for my proposed use, then that is a foregone conclusion.

Ben,
Do we have dates for the release?
Looking at your previous rollouts you only have 4 in 18 months.
1 in the early to mid part of the year and 1 around September and the same the year after over the last 18 months.
This is crucial to know before we deploy a whole network of these. I have limited time literally days before we have to make a decision and currently it looks like the unit we have will be going back to the vender and we will be moving to another brand completely which after studying the documentation first will do these basics tasks in there GUI.

Hi folks,
We recognize the shortcoming and have an update planned to allow assigning ports/trunks to a range of VLANs.
Thanks,
Ben

Hi folks,
I have a simple question the documentation couldn't answer: How do I allow all VLANs on a port?
Other vendors / models have a way of doing this, like
- using a directive like permit vlan all
- using PVID 4095
- using a "general" mode for the port
Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a solution for a locally managed Aruba 1930.
Thanks in advance,
Dom
