Ubiquiti Insider: UniFi OS 3.2 | Improved Site Manager | UniFi 7 [Jan 2024]

Welcome to Ubiquiti Insider, where we share insights into the latest Ubiquiti R&D advancements.

[00:12] We are thrilled to officially release UniFi OS 3.2 which includes several significant updates.

- UniFi Identity has been redesigned to run instantly, completely free and off-cloud on UniFi Consoles such as Dream Machines and Network Video Recorders.

- Shadow Mode is now available on the Dream Machine Pro and SE. This high availability feature allows you to install a secondary gateway that’s fully synced and on standby for failover in case of unexpected hardware failures.

- We also introduced the industry’s first visual VLAN configuration tool, which we call VLAN Magic.

[01:07] The UniFi Site Manager at https://unifi.ui.com/ delivers a magical multi-site management experience:

- Revamped Site Overview dashboard features ISP Health and other key site metrics for quick, insightful monitoring.

- View all of your sites from this dashboard, including ones within UniFi Network’s multi-site management - a handy feature for organizations that manage many sites with a CloudKey, Official UniFi Hosting, or a Self-Hosted UniFi Network Server.

- Site Magic makes Site-to-Site VPN and SD-WAN setup easier than ever. Instead of configuring complicated, manual Site-to-Site VPNs between multiple gateways, simply select the sites and subnets to connect through the Site Manager. You can now interconnect up to 10 sites with Site Magic, a number that will continue to increase with future updates.

- We added Global Admin Management for effortless management of site access and permissions for all team members from a single interface. We plan to extend this feature to hosted UniFi Network Server sites for a seamless admin management across all site types.

- Global Device Management gives you a centralized view of all deployed UniFi devices across sites.

[02:56] Network 8.0.24 introduces Admin Settings Change Logs for a complete audit trail of all settings changes. It also increases the VLAN limit from 64 to 255 for most deployments, and supports additional 5 and 6 GHz channels internationally.
