So I probably will give way too much info but here goes…
I have a unifi network with a UDR, 4 switches, and 5 AP’s spread over around 6 acres. Working great.
I have three networks and associated Wifi networks. I have the default network, a guest network, and an IoT network.
I have quite a few Eufy cameras connect to the IoT network.
I previously had set some static IPs for devices before I added the IoT network. I am now wanting to set them again, and am getting this message:Please connect this client to an SSID broadcasting the selected network for the changes to be reflected.
The networks IP are 10.0.0.1 for the default, 10.0.2.0 for the IoT, and 10.0.1.0 for the guest network.
For the wired clients on the IoT network I have the switch port set to the correct network. I am having the same message on the default network and the IoT network. I have looked through the disconnected clients and was able to remove some of them and then it let me add the static IP for the device that previously had that IP set to static. But most of the one’s that give me the above message, and also sometimes get the message that a client previously had that static IP set. I have searched the internet and haven’t found a solution yet.
Yes they are. And I had set some static IPs on all three networks before. And some of those devices are no longer connected, but I can find anywhere whereby you can release old assigned IPs. As I said before I did find a couple of them in the not connected list and removed them and those IP’s were then able to be assigned to a different device.
I was about the get all my APs, Switches, and my two PtP Nanostations assigned a static Ip. I will probably just let everything else just use DHCP and not worry about it.
Probably not, I checked all the switch ports and they are all set for default network and the tagged VLAN management is set to allow all. So I only have one port in my house that has a device that is on the IoT network, so I am sure it should be changed. ALL the other ports are feeding other switches, and the APs. Which the APS are ALL broadcasting all three network SSIDS. Doesn’t take a lot to confuse me, LOL.
I have a UDR that is connected to a Unifi US-8-60 Watt, and three Unifi USW Flex Mini’s. It’s not a firewall rule, it’s in the Port manager configuration in each switch including the UDR.
I’ve never worked with unifi. I use edge switches, there is a vlan tab to create and assign the vlan per port, by clicking on the port to tag/untag/exclude a vlan to a port. Looks something like this.
Gotcha, yeah it’s a little different in Unifi than that, but I think it can do the same thing. I haven’t learned enough about VLANs to really know how to configure them.
If your not tagging the vlan on each switch properly per port you’ll have the issues you described. I didn’t know much about vlans until Willie taught me. But now I have a grip on it, and I know you’ll need to create the same vlans per switch as well on your router in order for it to work correctly.
I have read several articles from Ubiquiti on how to tag Vlans and set the ports for Vlans, and I am pretty sure that I have it set right. I have all the APs broadcasting the three SSIDS, vlan 1, vlan 2, and vlan 3. Of course vlan 1 is the default network. 2 and 3 are the guest and IoT networks. By selecting Allow all, that makes it a trunk port according to the documentation. The unifi switch’s are set to default to allow all. I only have one device that is wired into a switch port for the IoT network and it’s set to allow the IoT vlan and block all the others.
Pretty much. I had to set the static IP and then reconnect to get most of the devices to change. some of the few left are smart plugs that are on the default network and in order to reset them I have to pretty much reset them to factory and then connect to the IoT network instead of default.
Yeah and even harder when you learn as you go, LOL. But I have it about 95% done and tomorrow I will re-set the smart plugs and get them on the IoT network and the will be good. I will review the Videos of Willie’s stuff on it and see what I can glean from it. Thx.
