Returning to the mentioned blog post, the next step is to run the commands provided on the USG, changing the Interfaces for eth0 and eth1 as provided in the blog post, to match the configuration as it is for my own network and equipment.

Then of course, you have your software loopback interfaces. My LAN1 port is eth1, and the unused VoIP port is on eth2. Lo 127.0.0.1/8 the USG 3P, you can see that my Internet connection lives on eth0, which is the “WAN1” port physically on the USG. Here’s an example from a network I’ve already set up with IPv6. On a USG 3P, the interface list will look different. The rest are software loopback interfaces. As such, eth2 refers to LAN2, and eth3 is the WAN2 port.

Lo 127.0.0.1/8 my output, on a UniFi Security Gateway Pro 4, my Internet connection lives on eth2, which is the WAN1 port physically on the device. Last login: Thu Aug 3 00:15:23 2017 from show interfacesĬodes: S – State, L – Link, u – Up, D – Down, A – Admin Down With an SSH session made to the UniFi Security Gateway, I simply run the command: show interfaces to get a list of them. Before entering the commands, I have to first verify which Interfaces on the USG are belonging to the WAN (Internet) connection, and the LAN connection. With some further web searching, I stumbled across this helpful blog post which details the commands needed to configure an EdgeOS device with IPv6, and firewall rules to help ensure that IPv6 doesn’t help devices on a network go rogue, being directly addressable on the Internet. The UniFi Gear doesn’t have the Web UI of the EdgeOS equipment, and with that said, the only option I have, is to dig into the command line.
The version of EdgeOS on UniFi is identical to that of an EdgeRouter, with changes made to direct administration to the UniFi Controller (hosted on Amazon, a remote web server, or a local server such as Ubiquiti’s CloudKey). That doesn’t mean a thing to me.Īfter some web searching, I learned that the UniFi Security Gateway 3P, and the Security Gateway Pro 4, both run Ubiquiti’s EdgeOS, which is a fork of the Vyatta routing distribution.
It’s a bit of a surprise for Enterprise level gear, but then again, it was inexpensive. On the UniFi front, which is the controller-managed solution I use for these network builds, the options for IPv6 are unfortunately lacking (non-existent as of this post).

The Ubiquiti gear has full support for IPv6, and it isn’t too difficult to configure if you’re using something like an EdgeRouter from Ubiquiti. Part of building a future proofed network, is building a network which brings the future into today. The Ubiquiti gear so far, has served that well. Something which won’t require replacing for some time, and something which won’t end up needing the reboot and pray trick to work. One of our goals with the network replacement is to ensure the network, when it is implemented, is ready to go for the future, and ready to go for the explosion in not only the Internet of Things field, but the explosion in digital entertainment which continues to show no decline. The best part about all of the Ubiquiti products is that they are quite inexpensive, for the features and performance which is otherwise provided, and licensing per device is not an issue.Īcross Buffalo, I have been working with a buddy of mine to replace shoddy Wi-Fi networks (you know, the ones which don’t work, slow down a lot, and need resetting all the time) in various apartment buildings. Ubiquiti is also less known for their UniFi Video platform, which is a DIY and easy to roll IP Camera system. Ubiquiti is well known for being a software-defined network (SDN) vendor.
For those not familiar with who Ubiquiti is, they are an Enterprise-oriented network equipment provider, which develops Wireless equipment for Wi-Fi and point-to-point access, routing equipment built around the Vyatta OS, and switching equipment.
To start off this post, first of all, Ubiquiti is awesome.
