The difference between these is that the purple network can access resources on the green (wired) network such as the Plex server. purple - this is the network for trusted devices like our phones and laptops.Note that when I first setup my router I wasn’t yet using VLAN’s and the 6 NIC’s were useful to be able to physically separate networks, but now it’s total overkill and two would be enough - one to the Internet uplink and one to the managed switch. I also have a UniFi US-24-250W switch, but this does not have a direct role to play in the VLAN and network config. UniFi Controller running on a Raspberry Pi (part of my control node project). pfSense firewall / router built on a fanless mini-PC running a core i5 CPU, 8GB RAM and 6 NIC’s.It turns out to be very easy to configure them to work together with pfSense owning the VLAN definitions and addressing, and UniFi mapping those VLAN’s through to a WiFi AP. PfSense and the UniFi suite both support VLAN’s.
