Why Your Ubiquiti EFG Can't Push 25 Gbps Inter-VLAN — and What's Actually Going On

Or: How I Reproduced the Problem on x86, Tried to Load the Missing Modules on the Real Device, and What That Tells Us About Ubiquiti's Kernel

TL;DR

Ubiquiti markets the Enterprise Fortress Gateway (EFG) as a 25-gigabit-class router. The product page lists two 25 GbE SFP28 ports for WAN/LAN, and Ubiquiti positions the device as a flagship for medium and large enterprise deployments. Its silicon — a Marvell Octeon CN9670 — supports hardware-accelerated forwarding through purpose-built network engines (NIX) that should sustain tens of millions of packets per second. The UDM Beast, Ubiquiti's next-generation gateway, pairs a Marvell Octeon CN10K SoC (with ARM Neoverse N2 cores) with a dedicated Marvell Prestera-class switching ASIC accessed via PCIe — capabilities that, properly used, would offload most of the per-packet forwarding work into hardware.

WARNING: What I did is not officially supported, and I’m far from an expert. You risk breaking your system by following these steps. Proceed with caution. If you plan to try this yourself, make sure to back up your configuration first, and consider testing everything in a temporary VM before applying it to your main system.

Disable nvidia drivers from the app settings
- Go to: configuration->settings
- uncheck “install nvidia drivers”)
- reboot your system
Enable root login by going to credentials->users->root and add a password to the root user
Become root by running su -
Enable developer mode by running install-dev-tools (see: Developer Mode (Unsupported) | TrueNAS Documentation Hub)
Download the NVIDIA GRID drivers that you need into a pool of your choice, otherwise they won't be runnable. I followed this guide and downloaded the dri

Warning: The exact commands may not match for your particular linux OS / Synology(NAS) device. I had to customize the commands after exploring my particular system's setup.

If you're new to linux, or this is a new piece of hardware / a new synology device, jump down to the section called "Inspecting a setup"

	## Frigate Mobile App Notification

	This blueprint will send a notification to your device when a Frigate event for the selected camera is fired. The notification will initially include the thumbnail of the detection, but will update to include actionable notifications allowing you to view the saved clip/snapshot when available, or silence the notification for a configurable amount of time.

	With this blueprint, you may send the notification to multiple devices by leaving "Device" blank and instead use a [notification group][1].
