- An overview of how to set up VLANs using Unifi Switches and Access points and combining it with a third-party firewall. As many of us use a firewall we are happy with but love Ubiquiti products, this video attempts to bridge the two ecosystems and show you how to create VLANs.

Excellent video. Finally someone explained it how to setup VLANs in a network with various vendors' equipment.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for the feedback, i appreciate it. Glad you found it useful.
Perfect video for me since I'm using almost identical config of Sophos XG and Ubiquiti APs and switches, this video helps to optimise my VLAN configuration
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback.
Yet another great video, Mike. Thank you
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback!
It was useful as always .keep it up .thnx
Thank you. Appreciate the feedback!
Well, there's a face I haven't seen for years. How are you?
Proud Unifi user here as well.
Hey John. Doing well and staying busy. Good to hear from you.
I have a bunch of UniFi stuff coming in the future. I made a full switch.
Great Video Mike, this is clear , but i have a sophos xg and an edge switch setup and i want certain ports on my edge swtich to be on the same vlan created on sophos xg; its a bit tricky on the edge switch side do you have a video like that?
Sorry, but I do not have a video on Edge switch. I have mostly Ubiquiti Unifi and QNAP switches in my configuration. Thanks for the feedback and hope you can find information on the switch.
Hello Mike, great video. Question what do you have on your main network that's not included in your family VLAN? what's included on your family VLAN?? I found your setup interesting and want to see if I want to make changes to my network. Rite now my family network is considered my main network. Also looking for a good 8 port desktop switch none PoE, what's your favorite and why?? I don't want anything that's huge in size.....thanks
Great question. The main for me are things that i shield like my own system, NAS units, servers, etc. The family network is mainly for the wife and teenagers that are “less” cautious when on the internet, play more games, and download more stuff, so if something happens there will be isolation especially from my storage units. As for switches, the main suggestion I would make is to get a managed switch if this is going to be you main switch. Things like the TP-link are pretty good, (TP-Link TL-SG1016DE - czcams.com/video/IPRtUdJdAn8/video.html) If you really want an unmanaged switch then they all work pretty well. I have used Netgear, TP link, and QNAP. For managed switches, the biggest difference is in the user interface and how easy it is to setup. For that the QNAP switches are amongst the easiest and the best but they cost a bit more. If you have UniFi access points then I would go that way. Hope that helps.
Where was the trunking?
Great question that I did not make clear. In this configuration, any port that allows all traffic will the trunk. Thanks for the feedback.
Does the ubiquiti AP itself need it's own ip address? I thought I did everything right for awhile as it seemed everything was working. I could connect to the AP with my phone and it seemed to be getting a dhcp address from my router. Recently it stopped working and for a moment there the AP just had a solid white light. I couldn't reprovision the AP for awhile. It just seemed to happen, but when I try to do the instructions in your video again, I can't tell it the gateway. I'm assuming it is the x.x.x.1 address of the vlan I created. But the controller interface doesn't seem to like it. I am using a tlink managed switch with POE+ and a pfsense router. It's hard to troubleshoot when you had it functioning once. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Unifi APs do need and get an IP from your DHCP server assumingly from your router. If you are only using the AP's, and no other UniFi devices, then the easiest way is to do a factory reset on the AP and use the phone app, or alternatively, download the free controller software to create and manage the firmware and configuration. The steady white light means it is ready for adoption and is not currently provisioned. You have to use a controller either the APP or the software on Unifi products to provision. Hope that helps.
@MikeFaucher I have the the controller. I run Ubuntu. I guess I'll figure out what reprovisioning means if the ap can get a ip address from the router. Thank you
@@djuhl002 Provisioning means to upload and update the settings from the controller to the access point.
@MikeFaucher A factory reset should "reset" to the way you bought the device right? Internet says 10 second and wait for the light to turn on. Anyways it says duplicate network now and gives the option to remove. The only thing I"ve done is try provisioning under the manage settings and I can't connect to anything. I wish I could be more specific. I've set up a vlan for some wired network and it is functional, so I assume the one to the AP should be basically the same. I just want to wait.a little before I look at the switch or router. But would like to know what you think. Thank you.
@@djuhl002 After the reset, try running one wifi network and no VLANs. It looks like there is an issue with your VLAN configuration on the AP or the switch it is connected to.
