If they’re not meshing then the graphics are lying because there is no connection between them. Either buy UniFi switches or ignore the topology graphics.

There is no IPS/IDS/Snort on the UX.
And you literally have the one wired client plugged directly into the LAN port? It shouldn’t make any difference whether it goes to a switch or not so that should be fine. Have you tried a different cable?
What do you get if you plug the wired client PC into the SH4 in modem mode?
I haven't tried that and I'm not sure how it could be done in the current UI, I don't think DMZ is possible but I could be wrong.

That'll do it. The topology can be a bit of a mess at the best of times (though it's been more stable of late), but throw non UniFi switches into the mix and it can get really messed up.
But do what @WJA96 suggested and disable meshing, or wireless uplink or whatever they call it today. It's not needed if all your AP's are hard wired and with non UniFi switches can cause mayhem.
Someone else reported the same thing, have a read of this.

Still doesn't work AFAIK.

You don’t need DMZ. If you select Fixed IP as your WAN interface option you then have a Multi-WAN option that allows the incoming IP address to be routed to a device inside the firewall as if it was outside the firewall. You can keep on adding public and external IP addresses as much as you like. But I do not believe it was ever implemented on PPPoE or DHCP interfaces for UnifiOS devices.

Thanks for confirming. It is better, it’s just not what it could be given the time and money thrown at that development team. Never mind. It works just fine in Untangle

You "can" get non unifi switches to show up in the topology. I've got a managed TP-Link doing just that (the only non-unifi switch in the network) and the topology diagram correctly shows that I have an AP plugged into it, it doesn't know which port number, but for the diagram that's fine. You need it to support LLDP though.
Soldato
That’s very useful to know. I’ve always assumed it could only map out UniFi components but if it’s doing it on LLDP it would seem sensible that it could map most managed switches.
I am completely smitten with the new Pro Max switches though. They do it all. 2.5GbE on some ports? Yes. Poe++ on some ports? Yes. 10GbE SFP+ uplinks? Yes. It would be nice if they were 100% 2.5GbE PoE++ but in reality you would be really unlikely to need more than is in the switches as they stand. Hopefully the Enterprise Max switches will be along soon to make me even happier with 10GbE PoE goodness. And the whole lighting up like a Christmas tree is pretty awesome as well.

Absolutely and each PoE++ port will run a USW-Flex which is 4 surveillance cameras on a 100m/100m run so you can go a massive distance from the switch and it’s all rock solid for power and data.
All I need UniFi to do now is release a proper Leaf switch with multiple 25 Gbps ports and the ability to do L3 routing and BGP. Not sure all of those will happen, but it's nice to wish!
Soldato
You mean the USW-Leaf? I had one. I think I even tried to sell it on Members Market!

No-one wanted it at the time, so they canned it.
Soldato
Point taken. But seriously, they were giving them away at one point. Literally e-mailing folks and offering to send one out to you for feedback. No-one wanted them. So there was zero development and personally, I blame Chris Buechler. (Not really).
It makes you wonder what the Aggregation Pro use case is. You could put 4 downstream devices on it making use of 25 Gb to talk to one another, but there's no other UniFi switch/gateway that I'm aware of that will do 25 GbE, so I really don't see how it fits in besides loads of 10 Gb capable clients. You can only really use the 25 Gb ports for clients which makes little sense as they're designed to be uplinks.

I have no evidence to back this assertion up but I swear Robert Pera comes into the office some mornings and literally says - “I was at the Grizzlies last night and I saw an HPE aggregation switch in the cabinet. I only want to see silver in my cabinets - SORT IT OUT!” and they just make it. I literally can’t see any other reason why we have car chargers etc.
Went to do some tests on basis of what you suggested and getting 900+ now so prob was something VM end
Still only 300-350 WiFi but that's plenty for what I need it for
Has anyone tried out a U7 Pro yet?
I have a couple of wifi5 UAP-AC-Pro's and one of thoose standalone and UAP-Flex HD's in my house that I might want to replace.
Probably along with a an upgraded POE switch for the faster POE+ ports on the U7's.
Do they share the same mounting bracket as the UAP-AC-Pro?
