UDM SE Full Configuration and review

[@dishtech4533]

Man thank you so much for making sense of all this. I just got my UDM SE in the mail the other day and while I set the basics up, your video really helped me go more into detail and made me understand exactly what I was doing. Awesome video man!

[@rcobsesssed]

Thanks so much for this video, it was VERY helpful. Please considering doing a followup going deeper into firewall rules, VPN and multi-site connectivity. I'd also love to see some detail on getting Sonos to work well with Unifi. Thanks again, keep up the GREAT content.

[@floss6884]

Great video mate!!! I do not have any IT technical knowledge but was able configure UDM SE with help of your video. The only thing did not work for me was adding a resource to Guest. Instead of a NAS IP, I tried adding a static printer IP on the Default network. I wanted the Guest users to be able to print to the Default network printer. I followed the steps for NAS but used Printer IP instead of NAS, but I was not successful in seeing the printer being available on guest. Checked it on my phone. Logged to Default - I can see the printer being available but when on Guest Wifi - no printer! Did same steps on IoT, trying to bring printer access to IoT, but same result - no printer access on IoT wifi either. Solid video tutorial again mate!!! Thank you!!!

[@kosekjm]

Appreciate the remake on the new UI. Was watching some older videos that bounced back and forth between the two. This one was so simple and easy to follow. Now have my network chopped up like I want it to be. And I like the extra steps on how to isolate the vlans from the UDM-PRO SE Main Page. Don't think I ever saw that in other videos that I watched.

[@utoob9999]

Very helpful and clearly communicated video and covers the exact topics I was looking to implement - block inter-VLAN routing isolating the UDM Pro interface. Works perfectly! The UDM Pro documentation is not easy to navigate but this video makes it clear. Thank you!

[@fearthesmeag]

thanks man this is awesome, I should of really watched this first when I purchased my UDM SE - as Ive been having all sorts of network comms issues with my devices, etc and my wife has been on my case. Guess I'll need to start over.

[@TMSCRN]

Hello Cody. Thanks for the explanations but I don't get it with the HTTP, HTTPS and SSH port group in the firewall rules. Do I have to repeat it for every VLAN I've created like the "Block VLAN to Gateways" rules? Thanks

[@tonywebb9909]

Cody, I did the swap from Pro to SE, if you want to transfer your old config across you must use the old UI to both save the Pro config and to upload to the SE.

[@louiem5985]

This was awesome video you put together. I was thinking of upgrading my UDMPRO that I have at home but it looks all the same but a couple changes. I do have a question for you. I notice you setup 4 wifi networks have you had a problem broadcasting them the same amount of wifi in UDMPRO? I could only have 3 wifi network broad casting..

Cody, just got my UDM SE, Aggregation Switch (the chip one), the PDU Pro and In-Wall Enterprise 6. I have setup everything using you videos and all went well. The only problem I had was trying to add my Adguard I have on my raspberry pi and also in my Synology as DHCP DNS Server option (when you unclick auto) but seems leaking DSN and wont block anything on VLANS only, when I use custom DNS Server address on Default it works but not in any VLANs. Is good to mention that I have Auto the WAN port DNS as it is recommended. I also have reported a ticket to Unifi, as I think it is a bug. I am new to Unifi devices and I really want to confirm it is a bug, I am on UDM SE v3.1.16 and Network 7.4.162

[@KaizenHydraxis]

Great video. I notice you set your WAN interface to dot1q VLAN 35 for Bell. Are you running right from a Bell ONT into your UDM or are you bridging through their 'Homehub' ?

[@ErykDragonheart]

I just got a udm se can’t wait to install it. I just got Bell 3gbps fibre. I know the WAN is 2.5. But why do you use a secondary isp? Can you not directly connect to sfp directly?

[@tantrumus7186]

Definitely great setup video and "liked the video" I am on the fence with purchasing the SE however didnt really see the review part mentioned in the title. Watching the setup portions definitely helped in seeing what to expect after unboxing to configured, great job there but really missed out on the ownership thoughts/experiences that are part of the review segment since title said ...and review.

[@MactelecomNetworks]

I love the UDM SE and UDM pro and recommend to anyone and everyone. I have deployed hundreds of these since release. The are easy to setup , have had very little issues, for the price point they can do a lot

[@zeusro163]

Great video. I'm using it to set-up my UDM Pro-SE. However, I must be blind as a bat as I'm not finding "port power cycle". I must be missing something. I'm moving on to firewall rules next. You are also able to drag and drop your rules. I'm not seeing that possibility on my page. The little icon to drag isn't there and if I try and drag, it just highlights. I need to explore some more...

Hi there. Question about what to connect UDM-SE port 9. This is my 1st implementation of working with USM-SE ever and in an office environment. Currently port 9 is connected to one of our access switches. So it's WAN1 network is the current office LAN and the UDM LAN network is 192.168.x.x how can I get the UDM LAN to be what our current office LAN is and it's WAN to be recognized correctly? From the internet circuit -> to our firewall which gives out DHCP addresses to all LAN -> access switch -> UDM is connected to currently. I didn't hook this up like that. Someone else did, I just want it to be right.

[@hughmartin7711]

Cody, amazing video. I am setting up a network for my home and 3 out buildings, using UUB-XG's for connectivity. I have one question. In setting up the UDM SE and tagging ports into the correct VLAN, when I pull down "Port Profiles", all I see is "All" and "Disabled". I can't scroll down to "IoT", "Camera" or "Guest". Is there a config option somewhere to enable VLAN support for hardware ports? I was able to set up WiFi access just fine. Thanks so much for all you do!

[@DeFragmaster]

Hey Cody - strong work. I appreciate all your instructive videos. I have a quick question: Is it possible to create a firewall rule that allows any machine in the default network to access fileshares on a machine that's on the IoT? I'd like to have something like that in play but only have it work if the traffic is initiated from the default network to IoT and not the other way around. For some reason, although there's a firewall rule that allows machines from the default network access to all other networks, this falls short when it comes to file shares and I can't quite figure out how to get past this.

[@KaizenHydraxis]

One thing to keep in mind is that firewall rules are executed in order and STOP as soon as a match is found for ANY rule. Therefore, if your rule that is allowing the traffic you want comes later in the rules list than any rule that is blocking that same traffic, it will be blocked as per the first rule match. You can move rules up and down in the list to control which rules get executed first.

[@richardberry8231]

Cody in video when setting up firewall rules to block a VLAN accessing other VLAN default gateway addresses. Have set up Port and IP groups for all my VLANS. Question do I also set up a port and ip group for the default VLAN. Scared by doing this I may somehow lock myself out of everything. Newbie question.

Hi Cody, i also have Bell as ISP with a 1GB FTTH. Did you try installing your SFP GPON directly in the UDM SE ? Does it sync at 2.5GB or 1GB ? Thanks bro.

Hi! Given that I already have a UniFi PoE switch and a UNVR with UniFi Protect application for cameras, so I won't use the PoE ports on the UDM SE nor the HDD slot, is it worth buying a UDM SE over the UDM Pro? Or is the UDM Pro enough? Does the UDM SE have any other improvements over the UDM Pro? Such as build quality or something else worth considering?

Great video. Could you explain why you use your Layer 3 Switch as a router for the network instead of the SE? Thanks!

Outstanding end to end setup much appreciated. Huge fan of your channel! Have you done end to end setup of UDMP SE with UNVR + camera on separate VLAN. Tried to setup one UNVR + Camera on same vlan but lost remote access. Would be great if you can do something with UNVR + Camera on different vlan.

Hey Cody, thinking of buying the SE when it is available. However, noticed the current UDM Pro I installed at a customer's site does not support link aggregation for greater throughput for a Synology Nas. I heard LACP can be setup for UDM Pro via the phone app. But does the SE indigenous switch support LACP? Great video! Keep the good content coming!

[@lordnelson63]

The 8 PoE ports in the SE do not support Link Aggregation unfortunately. So I still need to use my Flex XG switch for that. I wish they did included LAG on the 8 ports.

[@misteraon]

UDMP and UDMP-SE probably won’t support link aggregation because they both have 1gb backplanes to the 8 port switch. Given that, link aggregation doesn’t make sense.
