The application diagram below shows an example of a
deployment using local and remote controllers.
Your sites use a mixture of controller types. Some sites
have local instances of the UniFi Controller, while other
sites have a remote UniFi Controller.
• Sites 1, 2, and 3 The UniFi Controller is off‑site. Use
Layer‑3 adoption to manage these sites.
Note: For details about Layer‑3 adoption, go to
“Layer-3 Adoption” on page 156.
• Hotel The UniFi Controller is running on a UniFi
CloudKey.
• Restaurant The UniFi Controller is running on a UniFi
CloudKey.
Remote Access
Cloud access is enabled on the UniFi Controllers, so you
can use unifi.ubnt.com to remotely monitor and access
multiple controllers. Each controller, in turn, can manage
multiplesites.
