CTMatthew Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 If you look at the OvrC website they list an extensive ecosystem of compatible brands. One thing that caught my eye is that UniFi switches are "supported" - but I'm not sure what this means. I have one in my office among many Araknis switches and it was correctly identified as UniFi, but is asking for a username and password - I'm simply not sure WHICH password it wants? The SSH password doesn't work. Not sure if the support simply doesn't work well or if it's looking for some other set of credentials I don't regularly use. Anyone actually use UniFi switches and go to the trouble of registering them in OvrC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujtaba.khokhar Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 It wants the same credentials you use for your controller Thanks M Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTMatthew Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Thanks, but it doesn't seem to accept this or the SSH credentials. Do you know what I should even expect OvrC to display once the credentials are accepted? Am I getting port information, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujtaba.khokhar Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 port information, if you have a POE switch you can reboot ports on the switch. SNMP has to be enabled too Thanks M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to go to another app like OvrC why not just go to the Unifi App with far more functionality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were only administering networks, that would be ideal. I'm a custom integrator, though, and have a variety of remote portals to view sites through so I'm always looking to try to get one established that's capable of at least the majority of things I'd need to do. If OvrC can continue to develop along those lines it would at least be a good place to get a site overview and then if I need to drill down I can open a controller window. But if I just need to PoE starve a device to reboot it I'd just as soon do it from OvrC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been playing with this scenario myself and I haven't found the right settings to get it working yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTMatthew Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 No. There are really only two sets of credentials in the UniFi world. the SSO and SSH. Since neither worked I gave it up. I did ask a Snap tech once when covering an Araknis issue and they had no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDaniel Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 The default "ubnt / ubnt" seemed to work for me. After turning on SNMP in UniFi I was then able to use the pre-filled login on my UniFi devices. I can see port information, but no control over them. Appears to be for monitoring purposes only.

CTMatthew Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 I actually got a definitive answer on this from OvrC. You have to use the SSH password that's automatically generated by the controller. If you change it it won't work. This gives you access to ports and PoE status/power cycle, though you can't name the ports like you can on Araknis. If ubnt/ubnt worked it likely means it's not adopted?
