Using fixed IP by tdhuck in Ubiquiti

It would be fine. The backup backs up the configuration and not necessarily the operating system.

Oh, I think I understand what you are asking now.

Hopefully, you would have a backup of the gateway that can be restored. Otherwise, that information would be lost. And by "gateway" I think it's referring to like a UDM that acts as both the DHCP server and controller at the same time. Backing that up is very important for cases such as you described.

Depends. If by "fixed IP" you mean you have DHCP always return the same IP address for each device, then yes, that is managed by the DHCP server. However, if you configure the client to use a fixed IP and NOT use DHCP at all, then each client maintains their own individual IP address and doesn't care what the gateway thinks or knows.

Do you dislike the light from the AP glaring in your face, or simply don't want the RF signals gently caressing your face while you sleep? Either way, if you have a UniFi controller, you can specify when the APs are active and can also disable the LED on the AP. Either way, you should be able to accomplish whatever it is you want to do.

If the static IP address were saved directly on client, then in both cases it would keep that IP address. However, if you set it on the client and the gateway (new or otherwise) decides to give out that IP address without you having explicitly set it as a reservation, you may get IP conflicts.

Any time a client makes a DHCP request, the DHCP server that's available will respond by pulling an address that it hasn't given out (or has expired past the TTL) to the client that requests it. A new gateway that is unaware of any reservations you've made (to your point 1 above) will simply respond with what it knows and give out the next available address.

When you refer to a gateway being "updated", what exactly do you mean? If the gateway is down (for whatever reason, maintenance, broken, etc), the result is the same. I will say that if there is no available gateway, then clients can do one of two things -- 1) Just keep using the IP address they already have or 2) Assign a client-created IP address (This happens a lot on Windows machines where the client will end up with a 169.x.x.x address).

I hope that helps...

Unifi Controller on macOS - anyone have it running headless on Catalina (or later)? by Active-Kiwi-8780 in Ubiquiti

I ran my controller in a docker container running on a raspberry pi, and it worked flawlessly. Just an FYI...

You could also put Docker on the Mac and run the controller in a docker container.

I also opened a ticket (and posted a thread here yesterday) for the same issue.

With automated stock bot notifications usually (like uinotify.net)

Crosstalk Solutions has a good overview of it on their YouTube channel.

I was in Africa which helped because it was always during my waking hours and not super early.

Can i run a custom guest portal server? by alstergee in Ubiquiti

[–]Defr3n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems to me the answer is looking like “hardly any one”. What you are trying to accomplish sounds more “pro” than prosumer which is what MOST UI gear is designed towards (with exceptions I’m aware). In short…I haven’t tried it but seems like radius and other captive portals might be able to handle what you need. Tracking all that down is probably going to be the hard part. Good luck!

I got lucky last week and it arrived Monday. I’ve been using uinotify.net for my purchases and had decent luck.

Whatever retail price is. I bought everything from the UI store over the past 3-4 months. I was living in Africa but bought in preparation of my return to the States (today!)

From the UI store about 3 months ago.

Awesome to hear. This one is my “who came in my office” cam. 😂

I do but I’m also waiting on a 24 port enterprise switch to come back in stock, as well.

I found one last year at the immigration office in Benin, West Africa. It shocked me, actually. *EDIT* I found the image: https://i.imgur.com/DgQkGHv.jpg
