What if we already have our ISP gateway/wireless router and don't want to disrupt our family on the network during setup... what do you advise? Can we set up behind the ISP gateway and then get rid (remove/replace it) it after set up?
SUPER video Series!!! I've got a question for you, and wasn't too sure which series to post it in and figured this one was more appropriate(?) I've got MOST of my hardware adopted, and everything is running great in my house (Until I start messing with VLANS :) ) With all of the Unifi hardware, I notice that each device is set to DHCP. Does it make sense or even worth the time to set Static IP's on the Unifi hardware? I was thinking about the default 192.168.1.* IP range. Again, thanks so very much for all of your videos, they've been a HUGE help especially around the VLAN's/Firewall rules (I might tackle that in a couple weeks)
I have all of my Unifi devices set to DHCP so I don't think that is necessary... There are alot of people out there who love using static IPs for network equipment. I don't though...
@@ethernetblueprint The problem is when we do use the PoE and PoE+ ports on the UDM SE, system utilization will increase quite a lot and so would its fan speed. Also, they'll be limited by the backpane which before Rev3.1 was still just 1gb
(sorry for the delay, I have been out of town) Yes, if the device is doing more, it will use more resources, but it is designed to handle anything you have plugged directly into it. It is pretty powerful. But, like you mention, if you are looking for faster than 1Gb, then you would want to add a 10Gb switch via 10Gb DAC and let it do more of the lifting...
You're such a nice and wise person! Thank you
LOL. Thanks!
awesome video series. Thank You
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video series!!
Thanks for watching. I hope you found it helpful

@@ethernetblueprint Thanks a lot! KISS?
No that's not an invitation 😉
Thank You
Very happy to share.
I thought the UDE-SE has 8 POE ports? Can I connect cameras into it and not have a switch?
You can use the SE POE ports for cameras
Yes you can. The SE has 6 Poe ports and 2 Poe+ ports. Great for cameras and a couple APs.

@@ethernetblueprint 100% - that's what i've done for my own network and can confirm it works well.
