   New Big Boi (USW Pro Max 24 PoE)is here and now I have to come up with a name for the network

   The model naming Ubiquiti uses Is pretty awful

     That's why I keep all the network devices on the default VLAN, and move everything else to their specific tagged VLANs. Easier to avoid problems.

     Something got fucked. The management network use for the unifi devices is not responding so the controller VM lost access to all devices. I can't see the config of the switch because I need the controller, so I added another interface to the controller VM so I could connect to it and download a backup to run the MacOS version of the controller...

     I like Ubiquiti stuff overall, but they often annoy me with how they implement things.

     The Native VLAN/Network setting on the switches does not work as I expect it to. I expect this to be the same as untagging a port in a VLAN, but it is not exactly that because if I select a VLAN here, it becomes unavailable in the trunk port.

     This is what keeps fucking me up every time.

     It also doesn't help that I have a separate UniFi Management network and I always forget to set the network override to that VLAN on new devices.

     I think the last part breaking when I configure the trunk is that I've been setting the Native VLAN as this Unifi MGMT Network and it breaks the trunk.

     There is no global setting for using a specific VLAN for Management, which also doesn't help.

     Hmm, the UniFi Controller interface is not great when trying to manage 24 ports. Especially since it doesn't tell me which ones are Gig or Poe+ vs PoE++ at simple glance. I have to count the first 8, vs the second 8 and the last 8...

     Why is there no color coding in the controller when ports are inactive?

     That's the thing: the default VLAN doesn't have a tag. 😄

     @badnetmask This wouldn't help here because the default VLAN would not get tagged in the trunk which I need for downstream switches and VMhosts
