Using cli on the switches

Getting into cli

Ubiquiti equipment is managed by the unifi tool which can run on a vm or you use a hardware box like dream machine pro. At the moment I use unifi on a dedicated vm for managing all the devices.

To get into the cli you can setup in the unifi management a ssh access which will be activated on all your ui devices. Just go to System Settings -> Administration -> Admin and you can define your ssh users.

After logging in into your device with ssh you can use the cli with:

➜  ~ ssh admin@1.2.3.4


BusyBox v1.25.1 () built-in shell (ash)
