GS110EMX Trying to pass VLAN tag from wifi AP alongside other vlan
So I have a Unifi AP serving 3 SSIDs- normal traffic, an IOT vlan, and a Guest vlan. The AP is connected over a single cable to the GS110EMX into port 5 and the GS110EMX is connected to a PFsense rou...
I think I may have figured it out- After playing around with it again, I changed port 5 to be tagged for the vlans, like this:
VLAN 1: 1 (U); 2 (U); 5 (U); 6 (U); 7 (U); 8 (U); 9 (U)
VLAN 2: 1 (T); 5 (T)
VLAN 3: 1 (T); 5 (T)
VLAN 4: 1 (T); 3 (U); 4 (U)
This way, the vlans are tagged and the trunk is tagged. This setup now appears to be successfully routing all the traffic and Pfsense is handling DHCP requests correctly.
I'll follow up if I find any issues.
Each VLAN is by definiton a dedicated broadcast doamin. Don't know what is connected there, but what is the idea of having port 5 an untagged member of at least three different VLANs? This can't work ...
Yeah, that setup doesn't make sense to me but I was trying to play around to see if I could figure out how to get tagged traffic from the AP to route. In my head it seems like all incoming tagged traffic should just pass through the native vlan unchanged, and then vlan 4 would work independently of it. Clearly I'm missing something though.
