While weвЂ™re here, lets configure one of the switch ports on our Cisco switch for a Ubiquiti AP.

Make sure you save your config by typing: doВ wr Then type exit to go back to config mode. Ip helper-address 192.168.25.254 (You can use the IP of your DHCP server)

I am using my Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Machine Pro to handle DHCP. We need to tell the VLAN where to send client to get an IP Address. Obviously you can only go so high with this IP scheme, but it works in this case. In my lab, the VLAN number is the 3 rd octet. Really, it doesnвЂ™t much matter but I like to keep some consistency on the systems I work on. I will typically give the VLAN a lower number IP (.1) and my FirewallВ a higher number IP (.254). Type Description and give the VLAN a description I always try to put a description on whatever I am working on, this will make it easier for you or the next technician who works on the system. Type interface vlan 99, this is where weвЂ™ll give the VLAN an IP address, set itвЂ™s description and ip helper address. Now we need to enter the interface configuration.

If I had gone full Ubiquiti, this would have been significantly easier than the below tutorial youвЂ™re about to read through.Д«elow is what the topology of my lab network looks like. This tutorial will cover how to add an SSID on a different VLAN to your Unifi/Cisco setup. I have several VLANs and SSIDS that I use for various different things. With that being said, I needed to come up with a way to broadcast my SSIDs on different VLANs. I can tell you that the UDM-P is significantly quieter and was worth the cost in that respect. I had intentions of purchasing a Unifi switch to go along with it, but didnвЂ™t want to spend the money at this point in time. I also couldnвЂ™t stand the noise that emanated from my Cisco ASA 5515-X. SometimesвЂ¦not so cheapвЂ¦ Recently I purchased a Unifi Dream Machine Pro just to see what all the hype was about. ItвЂ™s whatever I can acquire free or cheap. My home lab network is of the mix and match variety.
