Persisting Ubiquiti Industrial Switch Settings without UniFi Controller
Ubiquiti Industrial Switches are popular for their robustness and high power budget, making them suitable for industrial applications. However, managing these switches without a UniFi controller can be challenging. This article will guide you through the process of persisting Ubiquiti Industrial Switch settings without a UniFi controller.
Understanding the Ubiquiti Industrial Switch
The Ubiquiti Industrial Switch (USW) is a managed switch designed for industrial applications. It supports 802.3af/at PoE+ and has a total power budget of 430W. The USW can be managed through a web interface or a UniFi controller. However, this article will focus on managing the switch without a UniFi controller.
Accessing the Switch Web Interface
To access the switch web interface, connect your computer to one of the switch's ports using an Ethernet cable. Then, open a web browser and enter the IP address of the switch in the address bar. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1.
Configuring the Switch
Once you have accessed the switch web interface, you can configure the switch settings. Here are some key settings to consider:
- IP Address: Change the IP address of the switch to match your network configuration.
- PoE: Configure the PoE settings for each port. You can enable or disable PoE, set the PoE mode, and adjust the PoE power limit.
- VLANs: Create and configure VLANs to segment your network.
- QoS: Set Quality of Service (QoS) rules to prioritize traffic.
- Security: Configure security settings such as port security, storm control, and MAC filtering.
Persisting Switch Settings
To persist the switch settings, you need to save the configuration to the switch's non-volatile memory. Here's how to do it:
- After configuring the switch settings, click the Save button at the bottom of the web interface.
- A confirmation dialog will appear. Click OK to save the configuration.
- The switch will reboot to apply the new configuration.
