Unifi Cloud Key Gen2 plus, how do I set a static IP address

[Davit2005]

Just bought one of these for home as at the moment I am using a NUC which is a bit too powerful just for this task.

 

I cannot fathom why there is not an option in the GUI to set a static MAC address, after all this is providing a service so in theory should have a static IP. Athough should not really need one as with STUN running and no need for NAT/Port forwarding rules on your firewall/router the Video Protect App on a mobile device can be used for most things.

 

Further more the appliance does not seem to use its MAC address as a unique identifier for retrieving an DHCP reservation. i.e the setting a DHCP/BOOTP reservation against the MAC address this fails to work. When you look at the lease, served by the same DHCP server providing the reservation the identifier is a long series of numbers, not a normal MAC address.

 

The underlying OS seems to be a Unifi version of Linux and I cannot find any config files in the cli to modify to have a static IP.

if you login to the controller locally you can set the IP address in the network tab
