I just got my 6100. And I am bit confused, it is my first netgate build. I usually build it on own hardware.
My goal is :
WAN 1 (ix3)
WAN 2 (ix2)
WAN 3 - 10gig (ix0)
LAN 10gig to Switch - (ix1)
LAN 1 - (igc0)
LAN 3,4 MGMT-VLAN(30) - (igc2,igc3)
Rest 1 port disabled.
Only one WAN I am gonna use for now. Later when we will get another internet, will think what to do with other WAN ports.
So I am bit confused, I want VLAN 30 on LAN 3,4 port. and rest all VLANS from ix1,igc0.
Can someone tell me, how would I assign it. Should I make a bridge or what should I do ?
VLAN30 is for management VLAN, on that Unifi controller will stay and I will manage all the stuff from this VLAN. Correct me If I am doing something wrong.
One more question I want to ask is, on Unifi AP’s I am planning to make, 3 SSID’s running on different VLAN’s. So what should I assign to them on switch end? . I am using unifi switches.
You need to think about which SSID should be using which VLAN.
Then you can make a port profile using these VLANs as tagged traffic and themanagement VLAN. and use that profile for all ports where you connect APs. The simpler way would be to allow all tagged traffic on these ports and assign VLAN for management to “native”.
So what I understand from here, is to assign management VLANs to ap’s and give them a ip from where they can get connected to controller. And for other VLANs pass them on the ports that are connected to AP including management VLAN and assign the VLAN’s to SSID’s accordingly using controller?
Don’t take me wrong. But Still I can’t figure out the use of these discrete ports.
Don’t know what should I do with these. Only thing that I am concerned about is, I want to connect the unifi self hosted controller directly to netgate router.
