- In this 5th episode of the Full Network Setup I will be showing you how to connect up a UniFi USW-Aggregation switch and a USW-24-POE 24 Port POE Switch up to my UDM Pro using both 10Gbit (Gigabit) and 1Gbit (Gigabit) device connections to take advantage of both 10Gbit and 1Gbit client connections using my previously installed CAT6 cabling. I will also show you how to add/adopt the switches in to the UniFi Network Controller application.

Good looking setup. Love the usw aggregation switch. It’s a sweet little device
@CrazyCoastie - Thanks very much, I'm pleased with it. Yeah I agree the aggregation switch is great and has come in very handy, as you've no doubt already found out I presume :-)
@@MrTimTech2022 yup got one at a steal from my co-worker for $200. next is the USW Flex-XG so i can run a 10Gbe to my office (to give my workstation 2.5Gbe...overkill but i want it lol.
@CrazyCoastie - Sounds interesting and good, I don't blame you I think we will start to need 2.5Gbit soon as investments continue in to the ISP infrastructures. Mind you here in the UK we can get about 1Gbit maximum home internet now, but it's slowly becoming more widespread with more providers offering it thankfully.
I actually managed to get a 30 cm DAC cable from 10GTek.
They’re good, and work perfectly fine with Ubiquiti gear.
@cousinluigi - That's not a bad length for a DAC cable to be honest. I might have a look at them.
would prefer to use DAC, hide it between switches with some sort of 1U management.
Hi @Naif ALTAMIMI - I see your point. I've managed to use 2 DAC cables for uplinks between the switches and UDM and I've just pushed the excess down the side of the cabinet, doesn't look too bad.
I would like to ask about my setup. I have 1 UDM SE, 1 Aggregation Switch, and 5 USW 24-port standard switches.
I connected my UDM SE to port 11 on the USW Aggregation switch on port 8, and I connected all 5 USW 24-Port switches on each different area to the Aggregation switch via SFP module. However, I'm encountering STP blocking. Can you help me understand how to avoid this error?
Hi @IzangsVlog - Thanks for your comment. This seems very odd as from what I'm understanding is that each of your switches and UDM all connect in to your Aggregation switches via separate ports with SFP modules on the Aggregation switch, so I cannot see how you are getting STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) blocking. Maybe try checking each port on the Aggregation switch under the 'Ports' section of your UniFi Network Controller has 'Native/VLAN Network' set to Default and underneath that 'Tagged VLAN Management' has also set to 'Allow All' and that the 'Operation' option is set to 'Switching' as I'm wondering if maybe one of those port profiles had previously been set to a specific VLAN, where I think it should be set to Default Networks so it allows all traffic to flow between switches. Just something to check first. Let me know how you get on. Maybe another channel member here can provide an answer if they've had the exact same issue, anyone ???
I've not personally encountered that but would certainly like to help you resolve it if we can between us!
I have a copper DAC cable that goes from my UDMP to my unfi 48 POE switch but nothing happens. Always thought it was plug & play. Does the DAC need to be fiber?
It should normally just be plug & play, however some SFP modules at each end of the DAC might possibly not be compatible as some are unique to specific brands, which one are you trying to use ?
@@MrTimTech2022 no, I had it upside down. easy fix
@@NewSalemBaptistChurch Ooops, oh well - we live and learn by our mistakes, sometimes simple ones as you and many others I'm sure have found out. At least you've resolved it now 🙂
Hi, im just starting to have a some idea about networking solutions. But on the unify website, they say that USW pro 24 POE switch is capable of 1,0 Gbps, but in your unify OS, it shows it has 10Gbs experience. How is it? Just bcs of the aggregation switch?
Hey there - It's because the USW Pro 24 PoE Switch also has 2 x 10Gbit SFP+ ports which of course support 10Gbit, the other RJ45 ports only support 1Gbit.
Hope that helps.
What server rack do you use or is in the thumbnail?
Good question.
I found it on www.rackcabinets.co.uk
It is an Orion Rack Cabinet, floor standing, grey colour, its a 12U - 600 mm x 600 mm one and the direct link to that is as follows

Hope that helps!
One thing is that you have to purchase shelves separately, so you may want to bare that in mind.
@@MrTimTech2022 Thank you!
You're welcome UnholySeoul. How about hitting that subscribe button!
I thought that you should know that it isn't recommended to have more than 2 RJ45 spf+ modules in the aggregatation switch. Cause the temperature gets to hot.
Hi @gregm.5960 - Thanks for the comment, this I find odd seeing as there are 8 SFP+ ports on the Aggregation Switch. I guess then it is recommended to use Fibre cables ? Where did you see that information, it would be useful to have a read of ?

The RJ45 modules get hot, yes, but the recommendation is to not put them next to each other, but have a port between them that’s either free or used for a DAC.
That's a good idea and to be honest I have not for that reason spaced my Fibre modules out on my Aggregation, but just for cable routing solutions. But that's certainly a good suggestion and if possible it's certainly worthwhile doing, so as to give better heat dissipation.
