@kevinspooner said in SG-2100, do I understand this correctly?:
Hi. Have you received the package yet? How satisfied are you with your purchase?
I could not be more pleased. Beyond the quick delivery and the packaging, the gateway is amazing. I'm getting familiar with it before my Unifi switches and WAP arrive. The internal switch makes this gateway extremely flexible.
I chose the SG-2100 for the 4G of ram. I didn't really need the 4 ports. One 24 port switch is all I really needed. However, I can't bring myself to connect a switch at 1Gbps to the internal SG-2100 switch that has a 2.5Gbps uplink. That makes no sense. So, to make the best use of the internal SG-2100 switch, I created 4 individual networks (I'll use 3). This will also keep internal VLAN traffic off of the SG-2100.
That said, while the 4 ports look like they are discrete ports, they aren't. It's still a switch. I initially thought I'd address my Unifi switches (which aren't here yet) per the network they are on. This would mean the router would route the Unifi management traffic between networks. Then it hit me, try creating a VLAN and tagging it on all the ports. That works (I figured it would).

Bottom line, I couldn't be happier.
