VLAN Configuration between Netgear and Unifi
I am reaching out in the hope that somebody can assist me with this. Trying to get more coverage in our existing office block by allowing devices to roam om diffrent AP'...

Hi
So you basicaly got it right but instead of just 2 x AP's i have in total 7
4 AP's broadcasting (LSA and LS Guest) Connected to its own lan with internet/dhcp/firewall etc
3 AP's broadcasting (LSP) -- Connected to their own lan with own internet/dhcp/firewall etc
The idea is to add to 3 AP's on the LSP network to my Netgear GS749T switch and then add vlan's to my switch to make them be able to still connect to service on their side ( the 3 ap's on the LSP side use NPS to connect)
Currently i just have the default vlans on the switch plus the two i created called vlan 4 (Auto Vlan - LSA/LS Guest) and vlan 5 (Prop Vlan - LSP) , but i dont know if the vlan's are correct , because i admit when it comes to vlans i somehow alway struggle.

Hi again,
This makes more sense :)
So, let's say we have Building A and Building B.
Building A:
4 AP's broadcasting (LSA and LS Guest). Connected to its own lan with internet/dhcp/firewall etc
Building B:
3 AP's broadcasting (LSP) -- Connected to their own lan with own internet/dhcp/firewall etc
You want to deploy 3 (NEW) APs in Building A, but broadcasting the LSP SSID. Those clients connecting to the LSP network still needs DHCP, Internet, etc from Building B. So, yes VLANs would help you here. Do you have VLANs aready setup anywhere in your network (in either "building")? It does not sounds like it?

Hi Man ,
Yes currently there is no vlan's setup this would need to be done from scratch.

Cheers sounds good!
That would be easy enough I think - on your setup (granted your other switches can do VLANs as well). Acutually, you don't need to do a whole lot with that VLAN setup. Just a question.
How are these two "buildings" connecting to each other? Is there a cable from one switch - on one side, to other side or? In other words, do you have a more visible topology?
Thanks

Basically the two server rooms are right next to each other split with a steel mesh
Currently there is a cable from switch one ---->> switch two plugged in port 18 on my Netgear GS748Tv5 switch ( Port 18 is assigned a vlan off 5 ) but due to my limited vlan knowledge i dont know if i did it correctly.
