Im doing a few steps forward and i have NGF from SophosXG and then Ubi switch and APs. Im using it for home and business. Ofc Sophos at work is payed 😆 but it can do much much more then udm and pfsense a spacially in layer7
I have a unifi switch connected to my cheap spectrum router that does do vlans. I created a network on vlan 20, created a port profile with vlan 1 as native. As soon as I assign that port profile to the port connecred to my laptop , I loose network connectivity. I am trying to understand why this is happening and I can ping other networks that I had set up within the switch. Can someone please help answer this questions for me. I onky have unifi switch, cloud key and my spectrum router.
Hi. If your firewall doesn't support vlans...sadly, you will not be able to use vlans. In order to use vlans every device, switches, access points, routers, all of them has to support vlans, especially the router which is typically the origin point of the vlan tags
great vid so i have this similar setup im using opnsense im using hosted controller on docker and had to use inform as docker has different network anyways my question is for the switched connected as uplink what firewall rules need to be applied? or do i not use anything for uplink? currently i have it as open for testing snd have dhcp address different from the network address
I think you might have a misunderstanding. Pfsense can do pppoe, the speed of the connection depends on the hardware pfsense runs on. Pfsense is just the software level
@@TechMeOut5 I learned that the hard way. I keep forgetting the pfsense is the same. I've got a UDR and a Key2 Pro with USD all collecting dust and now use a UDM-SE. All cause the others were not good enough hardware for gigabit ethernet when a old old Nighthawk R9000 was... I find it weird that Ubiquiti Unifi would so greatly under power anything. But I'm learning I need to rely on myself for this gear especially with UniFi Talk their support so far have been of no help with other issues.
This should be on the front page of the UniFi site.

Yep. Pfsense is more of a router whereas sophos is a full layer 7 utm

Nice video Avi, very well explained! I do this type of thing all the time, I do not use UniFi routers but I do use their switches access points.
Yep, its a pretty common practice and as a UDM Pro user...i can definitely see its shortcomings

Hi, great video! One question, the way that you have this setup, does the layer 3 switch manage the inter vlan routing? Thanks
great vid
so i have this similar setup
im using opnsense
im using hosted controller on docker and had to use inform as docker has different network
anyways
my question is for the switched connected as uplink what firewall rules need to be applied?
or do i not use anything for uplink? currently i have it as open for testing snd have dhcp address different from the network address
does the 'Traffic Insights' work with this setup with pfsense?
Loved the video, Avi!
Thanks for watching Frank. Cheers.
Will this work using a Firewalla GOLD firwall? I prefer Firewalla then PFsense since it's easier to setup?
Can a pfsense do 1gbps pppoe?

UniFi and pfsense is my favorite combo! not a fan of the unifi selection of firewalls
thanks for this video! excellent!
