Ethernet backhaul for two satellites with Nighthawk WiFi 6 Mesh RBK62/63
I am having an issue with a managed Unifi network when I connect an MS60 to the US-24-G1 switch.
Any special VLAN I have to configure/allow?
I am using the MR60 and MS60s as access points.
...
They are on the same VLAN. Coincidentally the same switch as well but it shouldn't matter.
The topology is as following:
-Firewall (router) (VLAN1) [3 Lan ports]
|- primary switch (VLAN2)
|- Secondary switch (VLAN3)
|- MR60
I am trying to add the MS60 to the secondary switch which automatically assigns it to VLAN 3.
The switch goes down.
The firewall and primary switch are still online.
If I connect it to any other equipment it brings that entire node down.
It seems like the wireless backhaul remains active and that causes a loopback on the wired connection.
Check this by connecting the MS directly to the back of the MR with a ethernet cable with out the switch in the middle.
That worked, so apparently, I need a switch exclusive to the MR60 ethernet port and the satellites connected to this switch.
Correct? Again using them all in AP mode.
I would get a un-managed switch in between the MR and MS. NGs GS-105 should work...
