Unifi On-Site installation

[@pitsnipe5559]

Considering the limitations imposed by the existing setup, an extremely neat, workman like job.

[@petervandebeek5980]

What a great improvement. I had such a moment with new UniFi equipment with some older cables going around, but the result is always much better then what it was. Once from 6 switches to one USW-48-POE. What a difference. The other with the Pro variant. They always experience an improvement in the LAN alone.

[@timobrien5998]

Nice work Cody. Those old Nortel 5520 switches are beasts.. had many around campus that 5 out of the six fans were dead and they'd just keep trucking along.

[@MactelecomNetworks]

They sounded like they were lol but very out of date

[@toddknight3096]

Totally understand, have to accommodate client. Good work, big fan!

[@MoneyMarcMes]

Subscription fees have been getting a lot of flack especially CISCO. That's why Ubiquiti is ahead of the game in that arena. Customers are ditching Cisco and others for that very reason.

[@GeneralCondom]

Ubiquiti is going to be eating that market like crazy , unless you are big company.. most small and medium sizes companies need to use ubiquiti

[@MoneyMarcMes]

@@GeneralCondom I agree a 1000%! But Ubiquiti is going to have to start making enterprise routers and switches that can handle large companies. Maybe even an Enterprise UDMPro SE. That would be a start.

[@michaelkelly7379]

@@MoneyMarcMes Personally I've have kept some true enterprise appliances (and especially firewall) at the data center side, but installing ubiquiti at the branch offices where *serious* traffic isn't needed. But every business structure is different.

Nice job! Always nervous when you've only got a few hours to complete and analogue lines in use.

Loved the video! Just wish it was longer.

[@Deraco1]

Looks good Cody! Always tough to make things looks they way you really want them in small time slots, at least its nice and tidy!

[@jfkastner]

Well done job and video, what a mess that was!

[@jonathanmayor3942]

I’m a bit late to the party but looking the patch panels you may have be able to move the second dual patch panel up, as the cable look like they came from the top, to squeeze the second switch between the patch 95 and 97 🤷‍♂️ I’m dealing with those kind of mess at my job and can’t do anything about it… and as a perfectionist it’s hard ….

[@majstealth]

keeping a rack clean is a marathon, not a sprint

[@ZacharyClaretScott]

In that first location did both switches have labels 'SW1'?

[@Scm391]

What was the AWG of the red slim patch cables you used for POE?

[@robertreeder2471]

Would you recommend for a new from scratch setup to get the UDM Pro or the UDM SE?

[@ulkesh78]

I'd kill to have data closet wires that were that nice! I started at my current job 2 years ago and they had 20 years of a "who f#ckin cares" attitude. Spaghetti mess in every closet.

[@kevinkirk529]

ME TO!

[@Unstoppabletacos]

What did you use to capture all the ports like you mentioned before removing all those patch cables?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Good old pen and paper. I was just showing the cable connecting from patch panel to switch. For switch port information that was forwarded to me from the other network company

[@goblinphreak2132]

Invest in a battery powered screwdriver or drill. I got these badass snap-on brand mini-drills that I got a killer deal on for a couple of them, had a few at work and a few at home with extra batteries and everything. Its a time-savor for getting shit done. I know its talking seconds but speed/efficiency is king. I honestly will never go back to using normal screwdrivers by hand....

[@JasonsLabVideos]

How come you didn't re-mount the pole mounted AP so it was orientated properly ?

Hold on, is your audio out of sync in the beginning or am I high?

[@martingerlach_1990]

Has Mactelecom Network already made a similar video with fiber optical cables or fiber optical termination?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Hey, I don’t typically terminate fiber usually get it pre-terminated if needed

[@seantellsit1431]

Looks great, is everyone on 1 vlan? I didn't see any cables connectiing in a specific way besides what was closest.

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Managment vlan, phone vlan, guest wifi vlan, staff vlan and a few others were created

[@Thatguy-bo3vr]

awesome work! release people from the bondage of subscriptions in milarki!

[@tinkuverma6218]

cable job great!!!👍🏼

[@johnheller2311]

OMG they still had a 3Com switch. How old would that be? 20 years? Also i hatre those 48 port patch panels. They don't make anything neater, and you can put a switch in the middle.

[@lordcarnorjax8599]

The USW-48-PoE not being 48 ports of PoE is annoying as. The old US-48-500W was. When I buy a 48 port or 24 port 1U PoE switch I expect PoE to be available on all the 48 or 24 RJ45 ports. Having to shuffle cabling around for devices that require PoE but the port on the switch where you'd like to plug it in doesn't have PoE just makes the cabling a mess. I like to patch out all ports and not have to worry about a PoE device not getting power because the switch port doesn't provide it. Cisco, Juniper & Aruba HPE all have models that do PoE on all the ports, if UBNT want to play in that space they need to step up their game.

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Ubiquiti does have a full 48 poe but its the pro version and cost a bit more

[@lordcarnorjax8599]

@@MactelecomNetworks I should have clarified that I did mean L2 access switches rather than the more expensive L3 switches which certainly weren't needed for this customer.

I've used NSI in the past to get unifi gear, but then they seemed to falloff, or maybe my rep moved on.

I am doing this job, and all the cat6 cables are punch down on a patch , they are ethernet. , phones and hotspot how do I get the hot spots to work, do I have to get a switch for the hot spot and patch the hotspot from the patch panel to the hotspot switch?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Yup got a new computer need to figure out my settings again

[@xVertigo101]

Was the rack you worked with very flimsy? looks like it would easily tip

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Could have been better but won’t tip over heavy ups on the bottom

[@EsotericArctos]

It alwys looks neat and tidy until you start adding cables. You did well.

[@MrSober88]

The problem when every man and his dog has access to the comms room.

[@thisbloke]

Nothing worse than a client cheaping out on things like that. You did great though given the constraints you had!

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Thanks. They weren’t cheating out we may end up redoing all the patch panels it was just a time restraint unfortunately

[@chrisschneider7609]

Confused that you didn't go with the full POE switch. It's not that much more. Also, there are a lot of paths that should have been simplified given the two switches you could have done the "patching" in the device rather than making some cables go from the top patch panel to the bottom switch and from the bottom patch panel to the top. Seems very weird for a deployment like this. I also would have cleaned the bad "analogue" links. Far nicer than the embarrassment that was there originally, though. They should have been fired for their lack of professionalism, let alone the extra costs they were charging. I also find it far nicer to do groups of the sub-patch panel groups, in this case, 6 cables grouped together. It makes troubleshooting 10 times quicker.

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Not sure if you’ve heard of a thing called stock issues 😂 but it’s been extremely difficult finding gear in Canada

[@chrisschneider7609]

@@MactelecomNetworks for the 48 port poe? If so, that sucks! Hopefully that will turn around. I haven't had issues getting switches or WiFi but cameras are impossible.
