On the Unifi switches you made the networks VLAN only. I have pretty much the same setup but I have the vlans defined as corp networks on the unifi controller and I am using the edgeswitch as the "gateway" switch were all the routing between internal networks happens. Should I have these as vlan only on the unifi switches? Is there any practical difference between the 2 setups?
I resently have a Ubiquiti USG, EdgeSwitch and AC Mesh Pro - coonfigured with guest policy for wiFi however I cant get guest devices to connect since implementing the edgeswitch. What am I missing after creating the Vlan from the USG?
Haven't gotten a response as oer this query. However I got the solution. Both the Port from the USG to edgeswitch and the port for the Ubiquiti access point should be trunk in the VLan.
Can you help me pick a trunk that will be used just for an in house wired network? I was looking at a brocade but it doesn't use other brand 10g SFP+ transceivers like cisco etc. also, some switches have ports with licenses and some without so a network fabric license. depending on its firmware it's not required if it's just being used as a in house network.
Yes sir, I'll begin the extensive researching immediately. I'll assemble different lists of hardware based on 3 different budget tiers. I'll have it on your desk by Tuesday. Don't worry, no charge.
I have this set up almost exactly except for I have an AP-AC-Pro on port 34 of my edgeswitch. I have UniFi giving out DHCP on Vlan 2 and would like the AP to give out that Vlan so the USG can give out IPs. Is there anyway to do that? What would I need to set as the Vlan settings on that port?
yes, thank you very much for clearing that up! i've been looking at the Security Gateway Pro 4 to start implementing as a firewall for clients but i'm getting a consistent "its not ready yet" response.
I would like to add to this. There is a significant difference in setup of these devices. USG style routers are good for users new to the industry but saying that, their initial setup is a pain in the ass. Edgerouters have an IP and an interface. Change your nic to suit and login. Configure what you need and your done. Any slight change to the Unifi USG and it's provision time and a downed link while it does that. I have a USG at one of my sites and it works great but i think it will stay at 1 site as a novelty factor, to get the green lights across the board on unifi controller :)
I think the edge routers are pretty tricky for noobs to set up too. No DHCP turned on by default, have to configure it using the WAN port, lol. So freaky.
fair enough, it all comes down to what we're comfortable with. I would think the DHCP is turned off by default as if the router is plugged in to a network with an existing DHCP server running, it could cause problems, as you'll get IP address conflicts. Plus if Windows server sees another DHCP server on the network it will disable itself.
Question...I have a 48 port PoE Netgear Switch with SFP that I would like to use and avoid the expense of a new switch (US-48-500W would be AWESOME). My NOOB questions are, (1) Can I trunk this NG Switch to a USG via fiber and get the functionality you show in this video? And (2) I thought "T" on the port meant tag, which would tag the traffic with that VLAN so the USG could apply the appropriate rules/routing. You are stating that setting the port to "T" is trunk...Thanks in advance
John Gibson as long as your router supports vlans you can use any router with any managed switch. You just have to match the vlan tags names and numbers. I have a mx84 instead of USg because when dpi is on we got really bad lag. Plus the throughput was getting throttled because the usg-pro4 was all out of compute power. We have a symmetrical 500 meg fiber. The usg just wasn’t powerful enough. With dpi off it was fine but what’s a router with dpi off! We have about 225 clients
I was going to skip the Ubiquiti SFP adapters and use two of these www.fs.com/products/65337.html and one of these www.fs.com/products/50147.html 100ft fiber cables, think it'll work for 10gig between two US-48 switches??
I'm a fiber noob, LEARN ME GOOD! I went to the live chat on fs.com and said what I was doing and what switches I had and they said "you need these two SFP+ transceivers and this 100ft cable". If there's something better to use just let me know!
Ok, doesn't look like UBNT makes multimode fiber and Beyondtech doesn't sell 100ft pre-made cables (looks like max is 65ft). The only reason to go with multimode is to save money? Doesn't offer any other benefits?
Multi-mode is used for distances shorter than 3 to 5 miles and single for longer distances. Single mode is significantly more expensive and normally found in carrier grade links. I would certainly stay with multi-mode in your situation. I have been in the industry for nearly 30 years and never used single mode.
Freaky, it all seems so inexpensive for me for the single mode stuff, lol. $68 for a pair of 10gb transceivers and $23 for a 100ft cable?! I think I'm going to give single mode a go, just to be different.
No, it has been proven that microsoft has been stealing user data. And it wouldn't be mac, but linux, something like fedora which as security updates daily.
The security is on the host hardware side smart guy. Plug it in to whatever you wan't. The video is not even about security. You're lol'ing on the outside but we all know you're crying for attention on the inside. There there buddy, it'll be ok...

How do you share resources like a server between 2 vlans?
I have this set up almost exactly except for I have an AP-AC-Pro on port 34 of my edgeswitch. I have UniFi giving out DHCP on Vlan 2 and would like the AP to give out that Vlan so the USG can give out IPs. Is there anyway to do that? What would I need to set as the Vlan settings on that port?
what is the difference between the unifi and edge product lines? is one more business class or high end? does one have more features than the other?
yes, thank you very much for clearing that up! i've been looking at the Security Gateway Pro 4 to start implementing as a firewall for clients but i'm getting a consistent "its not ready yet" response.

Hello Brother, How to deploy EdgeMax switch to in Unifi Controller ??

Using your link they don't ship to Canada but I'll see what I can find, thanks!

Nice hat. 🤓
good video.
Would you like me to send you a USB to serial cable?
No problem my friend. I have some stashed in a box myself. All I would have to do is find the right box.
Did you find it?
I love that you're concerned with security but using Windows.. lol
whats wrong with windows ? let me guess MAC is secured
No, it has been proven that microsoft has been stealing user data. And it wouldn't be mac, but linux, something like fedora which as security updates daily.
