So the unifi controller doesn't show me any wired devices only wireless. I don't have a unifi switch on my network. Not sure how unifi handles seeing the same mac on multiple networks when you have 1 of their switches in the network. Your problem sounds related to the OP where all of those vlans will be sharing the same mac. You might need to get with unifi forums or support or docs on how unifi determines some device is connected or disconnected. But when you try and run multiple vlans over them - they don't know any better and just send any broadcast, multicast, arp etc over all its ports - which can lead to odd stuff happening, and is not secure to be did you mean LAN port there - not wan? You can use dumb switches in your vlan network when they hang off a smart switch and only ever see 1 vlan for traffic. Me and jknott have been going back and forth about this forever - doesn't matter if the dumb switch doesn't strip the tags, it doesn't understand them - so its going to be problematic at best. If you just going to have in same vlan as you dumb is in, then doesn't matter. Where you try and run vlans on that 2nd smart can also lead to issues. The mac is the Exactly!!! Since all the devices on your 48 port switch are going to be in the same vlan doesn't matter - it would only ever see traffic in 1 vlan.Ĭan you not just move your current poe switch to be in front of your 48 port switch? Or you going to have to buy another one. Notice my igb2 and the 2 vlans that run on it igb2: flags=8843 metric This is why you do not run vlan tags over a dumb switch, even if doesn't strip them - it doesn't handle them or isolate traffic. ![]() But since you have vlans being carried over a dumb switch that doesn't understand them. When you actually physically isolate the traffic that can not happen. Since the vlan mac and the physical mac are the same. Most likely because the dumb switch is placing arp info on all ports, etc.īecause its prob seeing arps in both of its networks. most likely if its seeing it on both his wired network and his vlan wifisssid. He is seeing that error in his controller software - for whatever reason its seeing the mac switch places. ![]() You place dumb switches downstream of a vlan capable switch so that all traffic from to and from that dumb switch will only see 1 specific vlan that you assign via the upstream vlan capable switch. will go over all of those 48 ports be its untagged or vlan 10. ![]() So any broadcast traffic, arp, multicast etc. In your setup your running the tags over the switch that doesn't understand them. Dumb switch, ie switches that do not understand vlans (unmanaged) should be downstream of smart/managed switches that do understand vlans. That is really opposite of how you should have it. One port of the unmanaged switch is going to a US-8-60W (UniFi managed 8 port POE switch) and the APs are connected to that. The second interface is going to an unmanaged 48 port switch. Said in pfSense keeps disconnecting/reconnecting in UniFi Controller:
