I am wanting to set up with the coax to CM600-ethernet to a ubiquiti USGs WAN1 and the LAN1-Ethernet to the S8000 port8, a ubiquiti cloud key in port7, and then one of the remaining 6 ports to the R8500.
I am working with Ubiquiti on how to setup the USG and cloudkey with this setup.
I know that I have to put the 8500 into bridge mode as the USG will take over DHCP allocation. Is there any other setup I need to do with the CM600, S8000 and R8500 to make this setup work?
I also have a WD NAS, ARLO base, Wink Hub 2, Apple Time Capsule and Chamberlain Garage Internet Gateway. I think I want to hook the NAS and Time capsule into the switch and the others into the router. Is there a better way to set this up?
So the only thing in between USG and cloud key is S8000, right?
I don't have cloudkey in my network. But I do have UniFi controller in my network. Just quick test with S8000 default setting. I can find and management my UniFi devices without issue. I assum it's should be same with cloud key.
And by the way for 8500. as long as 8500 WAN port and USG LAN port connect to S8000. It's ok for 8500 to setup as router mode. 8500 will get the DHCP IP form USG as WAN IP and assign the LAN IP by DHCP server on 8500. Usually it's may not a good idea to managment a network like this way. But some time it's may help to isolate the L2 traffic for troubleshooting.
