Ubiquiti UNMS - First impressions

[JaredBusch]

Backups will be the most important thing. Just hopefully not used much!

[JaredBusch]

Not sure what it thinks it pulled for admin account and read only account.

[JaredBusch]

Maintenance is only to reboot.

[JaredBusch]

Not sure why the device view shows a firmware upgrade when the current firmware was jsut installed.

[JaredBusch]

Looks like it has its own firmware listing which is a different version than what was installed from command line.

This is what I just installed from the command line: ER-e100.v1.9.7.5001798.tar

While not feature rich, UNMS has some support inside the UMobile Android App as well

@JaredBusch That is really cool. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I can't wait until they flesh out the rest of it.

I like the Edge Routers and switches. I like the Unifi Wireless points. I do not like the USG. So I have to have the UNMS and an Unifi Controller. I wish they would bring these under the same umbrella. Jared does the UNMS work with the tough switches?

Why should these be under the same thing? They are different solutions.

@jaredbusch
Did you run your UNMS on the same system you had your UBNT WiFI controller? or did you build a new instance?

separate instance of course. never mix workloads.

I get that. It just adds to the list of interfaces I have to deal with. If you could somehow link your UNMS and your Unifi Controller so you can easily swap between the two without having to log into more than one page.

I am using Debian 9 for both now. Guides coming.

Awesome - I do recall seeing your mention of Debian 9.1 - Looking forward to it.

This is the part I don't understand - what are the different solutions they are going for with each side? UNMS is solving the single pane management issue for EdgeMax stuff, so it's a Unifi Controller for EdgeMax - again - why is there a split?
Plus there is no WiFi on the EdgeMax side.

I'm with Dash on this one. I'm wanting to pair up an ER-X with a UAP, but needs 2 different applications to configure each of these.

The reason to not do this is most cost. It's why I'd like to see a unified solution for both, or just make the USG more accessable (it has the same functions as the ER series, but a lot of it has to be done though config files, the CLI is overwritten by the config files on refresh from the controller).

It is not a controller. it is a management system.

That said, they seem to be planning to implement UniFi controller settings into eventually. But for now, it does not manage UniFi.
