Assigning an Insight Cloud Uplink Port
I'm trying to reconfigure my home network ahead of a fiber install next week. My goal is to connect my Netgear switch to my Unify Dream Machine Pro Max via a 10G DAC (port 10 on the switch) and to my...
Update: I just partially answered my own question by digging through YouTube and finding STP and RSTP 🤦🏻. I still want port 10 to trunk my VLANs over to the gateway but when I configure it to tag all VLANs on this port I still lose my link to Insight. 🤔
It seems I can configure the uplink port to access all 5 of my VLANs but I can only tag 4, if I tag the management VLAN it drops my connection to Insight.

Does that VLAN - permitting the switch and the rest of the infrastructure is correctly configured for that VLAN - allow to reach the Internet?
I currently have the router/gateway configured for the same VLANs and until I have the time this weekend to set firewall rules all of the ports on the Unifi are set to "allow all". The WAN port is set to Native VLAN 1 but I don't think I can tag it for outgoing traffic. This could be the issue I presume?
Apologies, I'm not an enterprise user. I am a Mech. E with an itch for smart home automation. I don't know networking very well and I'm just trying to secure what I can (IoT, Cameras). I may not know all of the terminology. 😅HI AReed048,
You may want to check the ff. KB articles for some guidance and let us know if it helps.
