Question about UnifiFlex:Outdoor 5Port PoE Switch - 406668

Hello YourMama.java
For the initial configuration of the switch, a Unifi controller is needed, yes.
However, just for the initial/one-time configuration, you can also install the controller as software on the PC/Mac to configure the switch. It is not necessary for the controller to be online all the time.
Important when purchasing, this switch requires a PoE power supply. If no switch or router

with PoE is available, a PoE adapter must also be purchased.

Kind regards
