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...

OVA/OVF Templates and Older Versions of VMware ESXI

Recently ran into this issue which I feel is something that I should document, as it provides some additional details onto how to configure or modify an existing .ova or .ovf file which is the standard deployment template for ESXI/VMware. Here was the issue: - ESXI 5.5 - OVA required hardware type 8. Gave an error of  " Unsupported hardware version - vmx-8" when testing. Based on everything I was reading, it isn't supported. So using the ovftool which can be found on VMware's Website ( here ) you can basically extract out the ova/ovf file into a directory, and then use it to modify the VMX file and then put it all back together. Steps: 1. Download the application and install it. 2. Go to the directory where the ovftool is stored via cmd line (Typically C:\Programs Files\Vmware\ect..) 3. Issue the following command: ovftool 4. Then modify the .vmx file so that it contains now the hardware ID of 7 (or whatever you need set for your release). 5. Then issu...
