TP SG108PE + Ubiquiti Edge Router

deleted23224

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.

@cteneyck, first you need to forget about doing anything with a VLAN. Create your flat network. Get all the wired devices working.

Then add VLAN tags to the switch ports that the router and access point are plugged into. At that point a device on the wifi should pull an ip from the router.

Remember this is why you see @scottalanmiller and myself always recommending a flat network. VLANS add complication. You are doing this to learn about them, so that is good. But this is exactly why VLANS do not belong in a network with very specific reasons.

The VLANS are working, i just cant get outside my network now because i have no idea how to get the IP of the device on the other side of my wall jack. How do i set that up

JaredBusch

@cteneyck by starting over. You jumped in the middle without ever getting the beginning done.

start with a flat network and a working router config then you add complexity.

The wizard on the Ubiquiti will set that up for you.

I have you the answer. Start over. What is the first thing you do with any router?

eth0 is my switch
eth2 is my "uplink" to the outside of the network, how do i set it up so that it will route.

There arent any wizards, this one didnt come with any software and ive been using my phone for

There most certainly is a config wizard.

Using your phone? To get to the web interface? why not use a laptop or desktop?

Ubiquiti ERLite-3 Edgemax EdgeRouter Lite-3
thats the router model, I could not find any information on a wizard for the configuration. Plus i need to know this anyway right?

SAM,
I am using my phone to communicate because I am desperate. I dont have alot of data

scottalanmiller

EdgeRouter X definitely has a wizard. I set one up for my dad two weeks ago, it's the exact model that he uses.

Don't forget to update your firmware, always, before starting as well.

Oh, communicate WITH US. I gotcha.

You download to a PC and upload it. You always do that before you start installing a new networking device (or any device.) Do updates before you start so that you don't start with unnecessary risk.

You don't. you also have no point in having a router though.

You don't start in the middle. How many times have I said that now?

That's not the X. But we have that one too, and it definitely has wizards. But they aren't there if you didn't put modern firmware on it. The X always has the wizards because there are no old stock items predating the wizards. But the Lite comes with firmware potentially many years old that doesn't work. You need to get it updated and it will "just work" once you do that.

Plug your laptop in directly, download the latest firmware, update the router, plug in the router and let it guide you through the setup.
