Here are some pictures from my adventure last night. I spent several hours trying to get it to work but gave up. I got the vlans to work, as show by the pings. However, I cant get anything to route. I dont know what the route to leave my router needs to be because i dont know what the address on the other side is. do i need to do something to figure that our or is there a tool in the router that can do that? also,do i need to nat, and how should i set that up.
Oh , before I forget.
The AP im assuming gets an IP address. Should I put it in the wireless vlan(10.0.30.0) or should i put it in the seperate subnet(10.0.0.0) just like the switch and router?
@scottalanmiller does the IP addressing and general setup look good?
Can i get a bump? I wont have internet after i get off work and I want to make sure everything from above looks good. I dont need a MGMT vlan do i?
Alright. Ill try that. Does the rest of my configuration look good? Should I change anything?

there is a link to what the web gui looks like. Maybe I am oblivious but its really confusing. Why are there two untagged vlans? how does that even work
@brianlittlejohn so there is an option to tag vlans and ports, but it doesnt designate which one would be the "uplink".
THe switch has options for MTU vlan, 802.1Q, then port based vlan. Port based was only vlan 2-8, so i couldnt even use it.
The MTU didnt seem to do anything, and 802.1Q allows me to specify which vlan a port is and whether its tagged, but not if i can specify an "uplink"
I bought an AP, router, and switch online so I can have a bit more advanced setup at home. The switch is a tplink sg108pe, which has 8 ports, 4 of them being POE, and a bunch of goodies. The router is an edgerouter x from ubiquiti. I was screwing around with it yesterday and the UI is fantastic. The AP is a ubiquiti uap-lite.
I set up DHCP and vlans on the router yesterday. I didnt set up a routing since its just the one router and switch. Eth0 on the router goes to port 8 of the switch, port 1 on the switch goes to AP, port 7 is my desktop.
Vlans are
20: wireless- 10.0.20.0/24
30: wired- 10.0.30.0/24
i have the ip on the router set to 10.0.0.1 and the switch at 10.0.0.2
DHCP doesnt appear to be working, i have to statically set my addresses
For some reason, I cant get the vlans to work on my switch. There isnt an option(or i dont see it) to set up a trunk from port 8 to the router,
Can you guys help me figure this out, and explain why I am doing what I am doing?
Any help would be appreciated, feel free to ask questions because I amsure I forgot something.
I dont own a home lab but I intend on building one soon. I just need the money. I just moved so I am a little parched currently
I would be disappointed if I wasnt considered because of a home lab, especially out of college. As a experienced person, I would be a little suprised. But I also see the value in going home to unwind and learning can be the opposite of that sometimes
