      Hey all!
      I just bought a SG2100 and that one has a "real" switch in it. Up until now I have just used Unifi switches and those are something else is so many senses.
      I read the part in the Netgate documentation but that is a bit to scarse for me, is there any other lets say more meat guides how this works and how I should think about it?

      Or if you would be so nice to educate me. :)

      What I need to do is in Unifi terms use port 1 as a trunk port, and port 2 as my LAN port.
      That is it.

      I tired that after reading the documentation and that rendered me with a non-functioning UniFi Network. I heard that Unifi requires a untagged management network for its equipment.

      So there you have it, my simple setup. Atm I running it as a dumb switch and all is working as it did before.
