Ubiquiti - CLI - DNS forwarding
ssh into your Controller
ssh into your Controller (NOT the USG!).
For controller on:
- Windows: C:\Users\<user>\Ubiquiti UniFi\data\sites\default
- Mac: /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/UniFi/data/sites/<site-name>/config.gateway.json
- Ubuntu: /usr/lib/unifi/data/sites/default
- CloudKey: /srv/unifi/data/sites/default
NOTE: Use the site-name you had configured instead of “default” if you did.
Create/Edit the file config.gateway.json in your site directory:
- config.gateway.json
{ "service": { "dns": { "forwarding": { "options": [ "host-record=AP-EG-WZ.WORKGROUP,192.168.1.3", "host-record=AP-OG-SZ.WORKGROUP,192.168.1.5" ] } } } }
NOTE: It is a good habit to run a sanity check on your .json file before pushing it to the device.
Simply copy & paste it to JSON Formatter & Validator. There are many of them available such as https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/
Finalize
Once the file is on the UniFi-Controller:
- Navigate to Devices.
- Click your USG.
- Click the “Config”-icon
- Click “Manage Device” and pick “Provision” under Force Provisioning.
Verify
Verify the setting by ssh'ing into your USG, enter “configure” and “show system”.
