Understanding VLANs and Network Segmentation with Ubiquiti UniFi

Networking can be a complex subject, especially for those new to the field. Recognizing this, a seasoned network enthusiast has revamped their tutorial series for UniFi beginners, starting with an in-depth discussion on VLANs — what they are, why they matter, and how to implement them effectively.

What Are VLANs and Why Should You Care?

VLANs, or Virtual Local Area Networks, are a fundamental tool in modern networking. They enable the segmentation of a physical network into multiple logical networks, providing both security and efficiency improvements.

The primary benefits of VLANs include:

Part 2/11:

• Enhanced Security: By isolating sensitive devices or data, VLANs prevent unauthorized access. For example, protecting your online banking devices from IoT gadgets increases security.

• Improved Network Performance: Segmenting traffic reduces congestion by creating dedicated lanes, much like adding lanes to a highway to keep traffic flowing smoothly.

• Traffic Management: VLANs help control data flow, limiting potential attack vectors and simplifying troubleshooting.

The analogy used in the tutorial compares a flat network to cars sharing a single highway lane — slowdowns occur when traffic is congested. Conversely, VLANs create separate lanes, allowing different device groups to operate independently with less interference.

Creating and Planning VLANs

Part 3/11:

The instructor recommends starting with a main VLAN (VLAN 1 by default), which is used for management and device communication. However, since VLAN 1 is widely used, he suggests changing its subnet and IP scheme to more obscure addresses to enhance security.

Subsequently, multiple VLANs are created for different device groups:

• Home Network (VLAN 2): For personal devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones. It receives a subnet like 10.10.2.0/24 with a corresponding IP gateway 10.10.2.1. This VLAN is protected via firewall rules, enabling safe web browsing and online banking.

• Camera VLAN (VLAN 3): Dedicated to IP cameras, with an IP scheme like 10.10.3.0/24. This isolates CCTV traffic and makes managing camera devices easier.

Part 4/11:

• IoT VLAN (VLAN 4): For smart home devices like smart plugs, thermostats, and lighting. These are often vulnerabilities, so isolating them limits potential breaches and malicious access.

• Guest VLAN (VLAN 99): For visitors' devices, allowing internet access without access to local devices, maintaining privacy and security.

He emphasizes that when creating VLANs, matching a logical IP addressing scheme with the VLAN ID helps keep the network organized and scalable.

Configuring VLANs in UniFi

The setup process is performed through the UniFi Controller interface:

• Default VLAN 1: Cannot be deleted, but its IP scheme can be modified — for example, changing from the common 192.168.1.x to a less predictable 10.10.1.x.

Part 5/11:

• Adding New VLANs: Including VLAN name, ID, subnet, and IP gateway, along with enabling features like IGMP snooping and mDNS, which optimize multicast traffic and device discovery.

• Assigning IP Addresses: Each VLAN gets a subnet with a gateway IP, e.g., 10.10.2.1 for the home network, which DHCP servers then assign addresses within the range.

• Creating Wi-Fi Networks: Each VLAN is linked to specific Wi-Fi SSIDs, e.g., "My Home Wi-Fi" for VLAN 2, with options for security protocols, band steering, fast roaming, and other advanced features.

Part 6/11:

• Pre-shared Keys and Network Security: For simplicity, UniFi offers a "pre-shared Wi-Fi" feature allowing multiple VLANs to share a common Wi-Fi password, creating a cleaner network view, but at some cost to the flexibility of features like WPA3 or 6GHz support.

The instructor notes that VLANs can also be assigned directly to switch ports, which is essential for physical devices like smart TVs or servers. Ports can be configured as access ports (single VLAN) or trunk ports (multiple VLANs passing through a single port).

Switch Port Configuration: Access vs. Trunk Ports

• Trunk Ports: Designed to carry multiple VLANs between switches or devices (like access points). By default, UniFi switches treat all ports as trunk ports, allowing tagged VLAN traffic to flow.

Part 7/11:

• Access Ports: Dedicated to a single VLAN, suitable for connecting devices that only need one network segment, such as printers or TVs. Configured to block other VLAN traffic, enhancing security.

For example, a TV plugged into a port configured as an access port for VLAN 4 (IoT) will only have the permissions of that VLAN, ensuring it cannot communicate with the main network.

Special cases include servers or VMware hosts, which may require multiple VLANs over a single port. UniFi allows flexible "pruning" of VLANs for such scenarios through custom configuration.

Managing Wi-Fi Networks with VLANs

The tutorial details how to assign Wi-Fi SSIDs to specific VLANs:

Part 8/11:

• Home Wi-Fi: Connected devices are assigned to VLAN 2, with features like band steering and fast roaming enabled for seamless connectivity.

• IoT Wi-Fi: Devices like smart plugs connect to VLAN 4, with options for dual-band operation (2.4GHz and 5GHz). For IoT devices, it’s recommended to leave band steering off to prevent connection issues.

• Pre-shared Keys: The instructor explains how to create Wi-Fi networks protected by shared passwords, which can be linked to specific VLANs, creating a unified network with multiple secured subgroups. This method simplifies management but may restrict features like WPA3 or 6 GHz Wi-Fi.

Practical Tips and Best Practices

Part 9/11:

• Segmentation Before Deployment: Planning VLANs early makes device management and security much smoother later on.

• Matching Subnets to VLANs: Using logical IP addresses that correspond to VLAN IDs simplifies troubleshooting and future expansion.

• Switch Port Management: Appropriately assigning switch ports as access or trunk based on device type saves headaches.

• Security Considerations: Changing default VLAN IP schemes, limiting network broadcast domains, and isolating vulnerable devices like IoT gadgets are key for safe network operation.

• Device Connectivity: Physical connections generally perform better and are more reliable than wireless links, especially for streaming devices, printers, or servers.

Wrapping Up: The Road Ahead

Part 10/11:

The instructor emphasizes that VLAN configuration is a process best learned through practice. He hints at upcoming tutorials on firewall rules, guest networks, and further security measures, all of which will build upon the VLAN foundation.

He also pitches a Network Beginner Boot Camp, offering live, interactive training sessions, community support, and ongoing access to recorded classes. This training is accessible, affordable, and designed to accelerate learning for newcomers eager to take control of their home or small business networks.

Part 11/11:
