Implementation Best Practices

  • • Create VLANs in UniFi controller under Settings → Networks
  • • Assign SSIDs to specific VLANs for wireless segmentation
  • • Use firewall rules to control inter-VLAN traffic
  • • Isolate security cameras (no internet, controller access only)
  • • Enable IGMP Snooping for VLANs with multicast traffic
  • • Set QoS priority for VoIP VLAN (DSCP marking)
  • • Document VLAN assignments and keep as-built diagrams
  • • Test failover between primary and secondary gateways
