Ubiquiti Unifi Controller and UAP AC

Upgrading to a Ubiquiti UniFi setup requires installing the UniFi controller software to manage advanced access points, as the APs lack built-in configuration interfaces.

• The UniFi controller is generally deployed on a Linux VM and must be kept updated to ensure proper functionality.
• Troubleshooting AP discovery frequently requires opening specific firewall ports, such as UDP 10001, within the iptables configuration.
• The UniFi software is essential for all configuration tasks, as the UAP-AC access points do not possess a dedicated graphical user interface.
• The primary resource for configuration options and installation guidance remains the UBNT Community knowledge base.
