QC Ubiquiti EdgeMAX - Using VLAN 1 on a vlan-aware switch0 Interface

[@JL-db2yc]

Thank you so much! I was searching a long time for a solution to this problem, even to understand why was it not working between swtich0 and switch0.xx, and could not find any guide or tutorial until I came across your clear explanation.

Hi Ben, Thank you for your very helpful video. In my initial attempts to implement Iot & Guest VLANs, I was getting locked out, and now I know why! For some reason, I was not able to issue the command line "edit interfaces switch switch0" on either the CLI in the router or an SSH connection, so I had to remove a port from switch0 temporarily, but that method worked. Thank you very much - I and many others appreciate your clarification! Best regards!

Any chance of an updated version of this using the UISP router via the crap cloud interface ?

Hi Ben, Thank you so much for investing time to prepare these videos, and all the knowledge sharing. This helped me to get my Internet + IPTV setup via ER-X, which i was struggling with for long nights and weekends over the past 10 days! All the best.

Well.. watched your vid, didnt understand it, changed my router settings, locked myself out, watched your vid again - now I got it! Sometimes humans have to learn the hard way... :P

[@TheDanielthomas12]

how did you get back in :p?

[@newmanhun]

Thanks for this tutorial. I spend like two days debugging why it was not working. Now that I solved it, found your video....my bad.

I was unable to use a Unifi AP until I implemented this change. Thanks a lot Ben. 🙏🏻

Excellent Video - well done. Excited to see a whole series on this stuff, and it's really recent! Subscribed

This.Explains.SO.MUCH. You rock!! Thanks for this one, Ben.Seriously.Thank.You.

[@iacontp]

Very well done! I've been looking at this one for a while.

Hello Ben, Good explanation and examples. Thank you very much. Now can you do one where if we want to keep a VLAN segregated. For example if I have a VLAN for GUEST, I don't want it getting to my IoT or my main network, however my management network would need access to all vlans. Do you see what I mean?

[@salko2915]

I made this change and connection between VLAN1 and VALN10 now works, but DHCP which I have on VLAN1 on the same ER-X device is no longer reachable, any idea why?

[@salko2915]

To answer my own question, only restart of router was needed and now DHCP also works as it should ...

[@MrRyanMonroe]

i did this but if you disconnect, it won't obtain a dhcp address. any suggestions?

[@BrianG61UK]

it's weird to me how people seem to use VLAN 1 as the untagged VLAN. I didn't know that was the norm so I just did them as 10, 20 and 30, no VLAN 1. My VLAN 10 was the main, always untagged, VLAN.

[@jameshagerman]

Thank you for the detailed walkthrough!

[@liutang]

Hi. I'm learning about this stuff and read that we should generally not use VLAN 1 for any traffic. So in this example instead of creating a specific tagged VLAN 1, shouldn't you just create a tagged User Data VLAN? Seems like inability to get to client devices on native LAN would be the proper security measure.

[@francoisdarmon2626]

Great stuff, Ben. Very concise info and walkthrough. Could you add CLI commands to set PPPoe using VLAN ID commonly provided by ISPs. Thank you in advance

[@oleksandrlytvyn532]

Thank you.

Dear Ben, very well! I have a question. In my situation, I want to configure only Eth4 in switch0, with pvid 192.168.1.1 and vid 192.168.1.2. The eth4 is linked to a ubiquity switch 48p (that i can set vlan for a specific port). So, I want to attach pc and server to all port of switch except 3 port set them with VLAN 192.168.1.2 (used for AP). This configuration is fine? Then using VLAN inside switch i can create a firewall role for limiting traffic between VLAN 1.1 and VLAN 1.2? Thanks

I'm not Ben, but I don't know if he still watches his youtube channel. He works at Ubiquiti now. Ubiquiti ubnt.com has a forum that is very helpful, and you can find many other post that probably will be helpful. Please do a google search for 204962254-EdgeRouter-Create-Virtual-Interfaces-with-VLAN-IDs I'm not putting the links here, or the post may not show up. Also google 222183968-Intro-to-Networking-Introduction-to-Virtual-LANs-VLANs-and-Tagging also google PVID,VID,Trunk,Access Ports. This has a post by benpin that describe what these terms mean. last one to google IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Tutorial Your description is mixing layer 2 (ethernet MAC addresses and vlans) with layer 3 (ip addresses), and without more info, 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 are most likely in the same ip subnet (192.168.1.0/24) which does not seem to be what you would want. It is also unclear which switch (switch0 in ER-X, or the 48port switch) you mean when you say "I want to attach pc and server to all port of switch except 3 port set them with VLAN". I think you want to create a trunk port from the ER-X eth4 port to the 48p switch, which will have at least 2 vlans defined. The 48 port switch would have 1 trunk port connected to the ER-X, 3 ports in a vlan associated with AP(s)?, and the rest of the ports in another vlan for PCs and server. Is that correct?

Need help with EdgeRouter X with Google Onhub (3 router set as mesh) for wireless. I have my main PC and 4 gaming console hardware wire to the EdgeRouter X. Everything else in my house is wireless except for Amazon Fire TV, philips hue, my son xbox and PS4 go to google Onhub. The problem I am have is my print wireless and on the IP (192.168.86.30) and my main PC is on (192.168.1.55). I can not use the google onhub on the same IP range as my PC because of the mesh. Also can not share my movie and music. I think I need to setup a VLAN to so I can talk to my print and share devices on my network. Can anyone help me setup VLAN or In a way so I can talk to other devices on my network on different gateway could you help

[@rcdude86]

The only thing I don't understand is how does he give himself his own ip for the other port. I need to do that so i can config this way and you don't say how to do that. I will read more and trying to learn.
