Im trying to find some guides or documentation for setting up our new unifi ap onto our sonicwall network.<\/p>\n

I have a nsa 5600, and a unifi ac/pro ap.<\/p>\n
Sonic points are pretty straight forward to me, but im a bit confused about how i’d add these unifi devices. It seems to me that these would go on their own interface using 2 vlans 1 for guest, and 1 for internal traffic. But then i came across a video that said you should add them as vlans under the lan interface. This doesn’t seem to make sense to me though because how would i separate the guest traffic from the lan traffic if its all running under the main lan interface.<\/p>","upvoteCount":3,"answerCount":13,"datePublished":"2017-10-30T19:01:03.000Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"brianfulcher","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/brianfulcher"},"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Sonicwall VLANs have their own virtual interface under the X0 interface. The VLAN is then tagged through your managed switches otherwise you will create another zone and assign an Specific hardware interface to it.<\/p>\n
The rest would be the same.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2017-10-30T19:12:05.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/help-setting-up-unifi-ap-onto-sonicwall-network/615383/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"dbeato","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/dbeato"}},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

So the way i’ve always done this was to have the wireless on its on interface, with 2 vlans under it one vlan for internal, and 1 for guest, then i’d configure these settings differnlty on sonicpoints for the devices.<\/p>\n
So in this case woudl i just make 2 vlans under x6 interface, and then make rules alloing the internal vlan access to the internal network, and then access rules on the other vlan only allow it to the web?<\/p>\n
The switch connected to the lan port does not currently support vlans on it, its pretty old, so my plan had been to use the x6 interface with a new unifi switch with the ap’s connected if these work out.<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2017-10-30T19:15:57.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/help-setting-up-unifi-ap-onto-sonicwall-network/615383/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"brianfulcher","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/brianfulcher"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Not sure why you will need to have a VLAN for internal traffic since it will be in the same network.<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2017-10-30T19:24:55.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/help-setting-up-unifi-ap-onto-sonicwall-network/615383/4","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"dbeato","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/dbeato"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
i was thinking i needed that vlan since i was using the x6 port to connect the unifi gear to, instead of them being plugged into the switch that connected to the x0 interface. can i instead just tell it that x6 is also lan zone and make a single vlan under that for guest traffic?<\/p>\n
