USG and switch arriving today, bonus as the original estimate was Monday. Might have a play later on.

Give us your thoughts mate.

Tempted by the usg to replace my edge router lite which has been rock solid for 1 year. Can only see it being a side grade so stepping back for a bit.

I only log onto the controller (runs in a docker 24/7) to check for upgrades periodically. May save myself £100 lol

I'd say a downgrade. Only worth it if you simply HAVE to have the bubbles lit in the controller.

Got up and running in about 5 minutes. NAT rules are simple, haven't really delved into the rest of the settings. What is cool is the graph and DPI data, very slick.

The DHCP server on it is crud though so I've moved that onto my QNAP for now.

One annoying thing is that it keeps reverting to .1 instead of .254 and I'm not sure why.

Are you changing it in the controller or in the device?

The device config is overwritten by the controller. I’m also confused about why you don’t like the DHCP server which is now very much improved and does pretty much everything and anything a DHCP server ought to.

You have to work in the controller though. That’s where everything happens.

For some reason both of my AP's are showing as disconnected in the controller yet both are up and running. I haven't changed anything. I logged in to one with SSH and issued a reboot but it's still the same.

Code:

BZ.v3.9.3# info

Model:       UAP-AC-LR
Version:     3.9.3.7537
MAC Address: <removed>
IP Address:  10.100.2.14

BZ.v3.9.3#

Code:

BZ.v3.9.3# info

Any ideas?

Reboot the controller, I've had this a few times lately when doing firmware updates on the AP's.

I was originally doing it on the device but I've moved it to the controller and it seems to have stuck now.

Where can I see leases and assign static mappings on the controller interface?

the-evaluator · 11 Dec 2017 at 08:21

Leases will show up in the clients page.

To set a DHCP reservation hit the 'Add client' button on the clients page.

ChrisD. · 11 Dec 2017 at 08:45

I'll have a look, I've got the cloud access set up and it's working nicely.

TBB monitor, pfSense left and USG right.

the-evaluator · 11 Dec 2017 at 09:08

I haven't bothered setting up a TBB monitor on my connection as my IP is surprisingly dynamic.

ChrisD. · 11 Dec 2017 at 10:46

I think it would be better if they had a dedicated DHCP leases page like just about every other firewall/router device has, rather than having it on the clients page.

the-evaluator · 11 Dec 2017 at 11:01

Agreed.

You can also see the leases by connecting to the USG with SSH then doing 'show dhcp leases' but that's not overly convenient.

ChrisD. · 11 Dec 2017 at 11:09

Looks like I'll have to wait until I'm home, it doesn't seem to like me port forwarding to the USG so I can SSH from work.

Edit, I'm in, went to my QNAP then SSH'd from there.

ChrisD. · 11 Dec 2017 at 11:28

@the-evaluator my ping and telnet to the Vigor 130 works, so I'm going to do the json configuration.

I'm following these two articles:
https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/arti...ze-USG-configuration-with-config-gateway-json
https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004872967

Two questions:
1) ~~/usr/lib/unifi doesn't exist, /usr/lib does (as you'd expect) but there's no file or folder called unifi~~ Edit, I'm being an idiot, I'm looking on the USG and not the controller.
2) looking at your JSON file, you're setting eth1 to an IP on the same subnet as the Vigor 130. I assume this doesn't overwrite the current config held in the config.boot file, but creates a sub interface on the port? Edit again, I've re-read the config and realised what you've done. I've just written the file and it appears to be working post provision.

No, it won't. You'd need to look at firewall rules rather than NAT if you're trying to SSH into the USG from outside.

ChrisD. · 11 Dec 2017 at 12:36

I'm going in via my QNAP for the moment. I applied the JSON configuration and while getting to my Vigor 130 worked, it knocked out cloud access so I've taken it off for now. May have another look after lunch.

the-evaluator · 11 Dec 2017 at 12:38

Strange, I've had no problems with cloud access since putting the JSON file on.

Looks good to me, the same as mine but with differnet IP addresses and PPPoE username/password.

How are you accessing the cloud controller? Are you using the app or using a web browser. I use the iPad/iPhone app, have never tried the web browser version.
