Known Ubiquiti Switch Misidentification Issue

Follow

Some Ubiquiti Unifi switches report a generic Linux identifier as their sysObjectID, Auvik therefore classifies them as a Server device type. Auvik attempts to identify these by parsing the device description by looking for the word UBNT. When it finds this, it properly identifies the device and assigns a device type of Switch.

If your Ubiquiti switch is classified as a server, try renaming the device to put UBNT at the front of the system name.

On the Ubiquiti Unifi Controller

  • Click Devices
  • Click the Switch to rename

The screen on the right will show Overview | Insights | Settings
