MartinRouterKing Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 Hi All, I am wondering if anyone has set up a unifi wireless with separate SSIDs and separate vlans. Our network is split up by a Cisco switch and 2 vlans 1 for admin 1 for curriculum. I am hoping to have a trunk port from the Cisco to the POE then on the access point have school name admin connected to vlan 1 which is the admin vlan on the Cisco and school name curric connected to vlan 2 which is the curriculum vlan on the Cisco. Would this work or am I missing a whole lot of config on the POE switch? Is this even possible?
penfold_99 Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 We have been looking at Unifi wireless and networking kit and it can do what you want. This ap support 4 ssids and multiple vlans https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ap-ac-pro/ You need a server to run the controller software to manage it or get the cloud key 1
DalekSec Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 We are running UniFI and currently have 3 SSIDs, Staff, students and guest. Don't ask me how it's setup as I just keep it running!! (Which is easy) If it breaks and I have to rebuild it i'll let you know! 1
Blue_Cookeh Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 It should work fine. We run UniFis with 3 SSIDs at the moment. Main - VLAN1 Mobile - VLAN2 VOIP - VLAN900 VLAN1 is our native untagged VLAN, the other two are tagged. 1

MartinRouterKing Posted May 29, 2016 Author Posted May 29, 2016 I have sorted it and got it to work! The nightmare was our Cisco switch which is managed by the local authority is configured to have the admin network on vlan 1 and the curriculum on vlan 2. However on a unifi ap you can't set anything on vlan 1.
