Setting up VLAN and DHCP
Hello community,
for some time now I have bee tinkering with setting up VLANs on my network. I have read and watched a number of explinations which explain what a VLAN is "literally" without going ...
Through "Switching/VLAN/Advanced/VLAN membership" - I set port 13 to "T" leaving 24 blank.(Should I also have change this to "T"?)
Is the Unifi AP-AC LR a VLAN-aware device? If yes, then port 24 should be set as tagged (T) port with a PVID of 1. Port 24 should be a member of all VLANs.
Why I put the heart in was I'm unsure if I should have used 10.0.100.0/24 to get the interface address of 10.0.100.1.
The 10.0.100.0/24 is the network address.
Must any port that is a member of more than 1 VLAN be set as "T" for each VLAN that it is a member of?
Tagged (T) ports are referred as trunk ports. The ports wherein VLAN-aware devices are directly connected should be set as tagged ports with a PVID of 1 and it should be a member of all VLANS. Examples of VLAN-aware devices are Access Points and VoIP phones.
Will I have an issue with the Telstra SmartModem also being a DHCP server?
Is the Telstra SmartModem a modem-only device or a modem-router combo? If its a modem-router combo, then you have a Double NAT setup because the UniFi USG router is connected behind it. To know more about Double NAT, click here.
If I wanted the NAS to be used on VLAN100 as well will I also need to set its port (8) to "T" for both and associated PVID's?
If your NAS is a VLAN-aware device, you will need to set port 8 (I believe that is where the NAS is connected because it is not labeled on the network diagram) as a tagged port with a PVID of 1. Port 8 should be a member of all VLANS.

Thank you DaneA, This is my setup and it is working.
Other than the thank you, Please disregard my last post.
This is my setup now, and it is working as required.
VLAN 1 is the default with the USG plugged into port 6.
VLAN 50 will be my Data and PC VLAN though it has nothing atm.
VLAN 100 is for Guests through my WiFi AP. (yes it is VLAN aware) on Port 24.
VLAN 150 is for my media, TVs smart DVDs etc.
During my trial and error experimentation I thought I had to set the "Configured PVID" to the VLAN. Should I change this back to 1 ? or will it not make a difference ?
I would also note that during my investigation/learning process I found many sites explaining "What" a VLAN was but I didn't see anything on PVID tables and what they mean.
Thank you again
