Can i have this as DHCP server and have an Ubiquiti UniFi join to it?

This is not a server but rather a switch with PoE capability. You can hook up a ubiquiti wifi provided that you use the power injector provided by ubiquiti.

The Cisco switch will provide an IP address to the AP, but it will NOT power it. The POE adaptor supplied with the Unifi AP must be used to power that device.

hi dan, i just talked to my IT tech partner and he said yes you can, just watch how you configure it.

Yes, I have a similar configuration now. You'll need one non-poe port to hook to the router which will be your uplink. Then, you can use the extra non-poe ports for whatever you want.

U can't add any dhcp options to the dhcp server for say vendor specific 242 avaya etc. Turn off autostart port as it gave me nothing but headaches.

It does. You can set it up via the GUI under IP Configuration > IPv4 Management and Interfaces > DHCP Server. Or you can set it up using the CLI.

This unit is not meant to be rack-mounted, and there is no hardware included for rack mounting. you'd have to either set it on top of something in the rack or buy a rack mount shelf. The switch supports "trunking" (802.1q tagging), so you can daisy-chain them. Of course, a better design would be for each of the two switches to have a separate uplink to a core or distribution layer switch, if that's the application. Cheers.

Yes, it does work, range is poor both because of the 5Ghz propagation characteristic and the relatively low power output of the design. Be sure you have only one DHCP server in your network.

No, but if you have a Wireless router at home, it can do the DHCP'n for you.

You may create static dhcp entries (mac addresses and ip addresses). It does not appear to have further dhcp functionality.

Maybe but not until pfSense 2.2 is out. You can follow this on the pfSense forums if you are intereseted.

well ..for me it didn't worked at all. I couldn't setup that damn thing at all and couldn't get support from ubiquity either.came bricked. But from specs i don't think it's designed to be used this way (repeater). If you wire-daisy-ching with another router it shouldn't be a problem having the same SSID. For complete wireless repeating purposes i've used Netgear WNR3500v2/U/L (with dd-wrt)

Yes you can... I have a corporate and Guest network on both of our AP's... When you first configure the install wizard gives you a choice to configure Guest.. Anyways you configure each SSID for whatever VLAN network you need it on.. BTW.. I'm really impressed with the device, The controller software and their support.. This was the first time using UniFi...

Yes it supports DHCP Server. Make sure you update the firmware. I believe it's supported since certain version. Commands thats I used to configure a scope:ip dhcp pool network Data_10.0.2.0/24address low 10.0.2.21 high 10.0.2.200 255.255.255.0domain-name lan.xxx.comdefault-router 10.0.2.1dns-server 10.0.3.1This switch is the best bang out of you buck. For less than $300 you have fanless, 1GBit layer 3 switch (static routes only and no IPv6 routing)

The best answer is already stated. As a closed network then no. You set the IP on the devices and all is well. If you want internet and not having to worry about statically assigning IP to the server or computer then a router with DHCP would be needed.

Yes I believe the best way is to simply select bridge mode under dhcp server settings this allows the router to automatically set various other things as to be sure no conflicts and allows use of all four wired connects instead of just 3. Also has a repeater mode.

These are AP's only. I have them configured so that each AP is hard wired to its own Ethernet connection. according to my search and forum posts on community.UBNT.com, it is not possible.

The device you mentioned, Motorola SB6121, is a cable modem (not a router). The Unifi AP can be connected to the port on the modem, but only one device will be able to connect to it wirelessly. You will need a router to dynamically assign IP addresses (DHCP). I use the following setup. My cable modem is connected to a D-Link wireless router on the WAN port. (Note that I had this router before I got the Unifi AP. I turn both the antennas off on the router so that it is only a router and NOT a wireless AP.) Since the D-Link router has a built-in four-port switch, I connect my Unifi AP to one of the ports and two computers into other ports. (I have the final LAN port connected to another switch for devices like printer, SAN storage device, etc.) All of my wireless devices (iPad, iPhone, etc.) connect to the home network via the Unifi AP. Even though I am using a D-Link router, pretty much any router will do. If you don't have an old router laying around (and you can't score one from a friend), you might consider products like the TRENDnet TW100-S4W1CA (around $25 here on Amazon.com) or the TP-LINK TL-R460 (around $22 here on Amazon.com). Note that if you require gigabit speed on the switch, you need to consider something more expensive which will include a wireless AP built-in. There are lots of these at different pricepoints. (If you go that route, make sure you disable the 2.4 GHz antenna on the router. It can be handy if the wireless router is dual band; you could leave the 5.0 GHz antenna active.) Connect your Unifi AP and the cable modem to it and you'll be all set.
