Unifi Switches (48-Port) Registration from Scratch

This document will outline how to configure from Factory Reset a Unifi 48-Port PoE Switch into a AWS Cloud Controller.

1. Reset your Unifi 48-Port PoE Switch by pressing and holding in the Reset button on the right-side of the switch for 5 seconds.

2. Verify that it is connected to the LAN that either your controller is located, or in this case a network that can provide DHCP Services and reach the internet for AWS Controller Registration.
3. Your Device will boot up with an acquired DHCP IP address. You can either find out the IP of the switch using the details provided from your local DHCP Server, or use a tool such as Zenmap or Nmap.
4. Once found, SSH into the device using ubnt/ubnt as the default login and password and perform set-inform http://:8080/inform this will then allow your device to show up within the Unifi Controller for adoption.

Note: You can also cat the /var/log/ on the server to get additional details if it is functioning or failing.

5. Make sure that your device can properly communicate to the AWS Controller (Permissions on the Security Groups associated with the Instance).

6. Once it shows up Pending Adoption, you will need to issue the set-inform command one more time for it then to change from Pending Adoption to Provisioning to Connected.

7. Once it is showing as Connected you can start pushing changes to the device.

Implementing 802.1X - Windows 2012R2 + Cisco 4500 Switches

Implementing 802.1X Using Windows Server 2012R2 & Cisco 4500 Series Switches Overview: This document is to outline how the configuration between Windows Server 2012 R2’s NPS Services and Cisco 4500 Series switches has been implemented. High Level Diagram:   Requirements: Windows Server 2012 R2 with NPS Server installed Windows Server 2012 R2 with CA Services Windows AD Environment Cisco 4500 Series Switches Windows 7-10 Clients to connect NPS Configuration: 1. This assumes the above requirement that the NPS Service has already been installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 2. Disable all existing Policies under Connection Request Policies and Network Policies as you will be making your own, except one that states “Catch All” with the below parameters: 3. You will then need to add in a new Radius Client to have Policies built around. Friendly Name will be used going forward for the Policies for referencing the document. 4. Once completed...

Fortigate to USG B2B

Building Site-to-Site B2B from Unifi USG to Fortigate (500D or other models) Fortigate Configuration 1. Build a New VPN Tunnel using Custom VPN Tunnel (No Template) 2. Under Network, point to the Public Side IP of the USG (Public IP, not WAN interface) 3. Leave everything else default (NAT-T Enabled, DPD Disabled..ect) 4. Authentication, use PSK and IKEv1 with Main 5. Phase 1 Purposal, set algorithms to AES128 and SHA1, with DH 14. 6. Phase 2 Purposal, set Local Address and Remote address to 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 and 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 respectively. 7. Set Encryption to AES128/Sha1, Replay Detection and PFS enabled, along with DH14. Enable Autokey Keep Alive, and Auto-Negotiate, and save changes. 8. Build a Static Route pointing to the Far-End Destination/Segment you want to reach. 9. Build a Policy Stating which Segments can hit the Far-End Destination/B2B USG Configuration 1. This is assuming that USG is already registered to the Unifi Controller. 2. Go t...
