That's the issue I am having.
I have DHCP on my Windows Server 2016 Box (Private network) for Vlan1 and DHCP on the Meraki for Vlan2 for the Public/Guest.
When clients join the private Wifi (no lan specified on the Unifi) they get an IP from the Windows Server. When the clients join the public Wifi Vlan2, no DHCP.

you'd have to create a new scope for DHCP for that VLAN. and create routing rules to route that network.
DHCP on the Unifi Controller?
I have DHCP setup on the guest VLAN on the Meraki
@francesco-provino said in RAID on SSD's:
You don't "need" a separate controller, simply you will saturate both a separate SAS controller (RAID HW) and an integrated SATA one (SW RAID). Essentially, you can saturate the band of a PCIe 3.1 8x link.
So what are options when do you need to have more than 6-7 SSD's in a server then?
This is different than my question about SSD's, but since you mention it, I do have a server that I am looking at putting 10 1.2 TB 10K RPM drives in. The software vendor doesn't support a NAS.
If you have more than 6 or 7 SSD's you need a separate controller then?
RAID 5 isn't something I have done for years...
@jaredbusch Tried that but for some reason it wasn't picking up on the DHCP on the Meraki for that VLAN. I'll look into that more.
I set up my servers with RAID 10 and 10 or 15 K RPM Drives and a dedicated RAID card and an SSD Drive for CacheCade.
However with the decrease in pricing for SSD drives, I would like to start using them more in servers.
As far as setting up a guest network that is isolated from the main network... Any walk-throughs for that? On my Meraki I had set up a VLAN for the guest wifi, but the UniFis totally foreign to me.

Network on the UniFi Controller is defaulting to 192.168.1.1/24 and wants to run it's own DHCP server.
No it does not. That is not what it says, nor what it wants to do.
Ok, can you explain then?
In setting up, is there any reason to not just have the AP's and clients on the same as wired LAN vs. having it on a different gateway/subnet?
My main network is 192.168.10.0/24 and the Network on the UniFi Controller is defaulting to 192.168.1.1/24 and wants to run it's own DHCP server.
Ok, Since I need it up quickly I'm going to throw it on a Windows machine and then migrate to a cloud Debian install.
Ok, and the DNS for "unifi" would point to the public IP of the virtual server on the Vultr is that right?
What port forwarding needs to be done? (If any)
Ok, how do I tell the AP's to look to a cloud based server instead of a local one for the controller?
If I go cloud based, can I have 1 VM for all of my different clients (different companies) or do I need to have one for each client?
If I don't want to go the VM option, is this the only other thing that I need? The router is Meraki and the switches are Netgear.
@dashrender Any particular 'flavor' of linux?
Ok, so it's software (and not hardware?)
Can it be installed on an existing server?
I have two virtual servers 1 DC/DHCP/DNS and 1 is Applications server.
I purchased the access points... Do I need a "Cloud Key"?

Do the Ubiquity units require a contract for management?
Nope
That's even better!
