Unifi vlan id for multiple SSID
Welcome to ardnetwork.com, I am sorry because too many offline activity my blog not uptodate :D. Today I want to share how to integrate unifi vlan to make multiple SSID for your access point to know about features of unifi you could read unifi official site. Just intro yesterday I bought unifi for our office and the simple idea I want our staff and guests office have different block ip address then I could give different policy about the network office. To save the resource every unifi have multiple ssid, if you ever read unifi features there are unifi vlan id and of course with the unifi vlan it would make easy to manage our network office, for example our ssid wifi-1 as first ssid and wifi-2 as second ssid. See network diagram topology for unifi vlan, cisco manageable switch and mikrotik router.
Assume :
wifi-1 have block ip address : 192.168.10.xx/24
wifi-2 have block ip address : 192.168.20.xx/24
cisco port G1 : trunk
cisco port G2 : trunk
all network using dhcp and port ether 1 for vlan
Step by step unifi vlan integration
First step : build vlan on the mikrotik for example vlan 10 and 20 then build dhcp server on mikrotik for ip address 192.168.10.xx/24 assign to interface vlan 10 and 192.168.20.xx/24 assign for interface vlan 20. For dhcp server mikrotik documentation could be see at their wiki mikrotik. On this blog I don’t explain how to build dhcp server at mikrotik.
Second step : Configure cisco managable switch then build vlan_10 and vlan_20 for port G1 switch port mode trunk and allow vlan_10 and_20 then connected port G1 cisco to mikrotik. After that build G2 switch port mode trunk and allow vlan_10 and vlan_20 to the trunk port then port G2 connected to unifi.
Third step : Make configuration unifi vlan id then create SSID, ssid wifi-1 vlan_10 and ssid wifi-2 vlan_20.
Now I could build multiple ssid using unifi vlan with different ip address.
