TrueNAS Core 12.2
Gen 8 Microserver
Unifi Security Gateway/WIFI access point/layer 2 switch managing VLANS
Main LAN
IOT VLAN
Camera VLAN
Guest VLAN
I am no networking GURU by any stretch of the imagination but after years in the IT industry, I have taught myself how to accomplish the following. I have a Unifi gateway managing my network which includes having all of my IOT's, including my Microserver, on an IOT LAN. The Microserver manages TrueNAS core, Plex server and home assistant. Also at some point soon I want to add Zoneminder to the list to handle the camera's for my new house. There is also a guest network. These are all locked down using Unifi security and only the main LAN is able to access all of the other VLAN's.
What I want to do now is to move my Unifi controller to my microserver which is always on. Currently the Unifi controller is on my windows LAPTOP and is causing me issues, but I'm worried about security. My thought is that I have to move my Microserver back over to the main LAN so that the 192.168.1.1 network remains the control. Unfortunately what do I do with the IOT's and Camera's on a separate VLAN.
I understand that TrueNAS can handle VLANs but I really don't understand how I can utilise this to solve my problem.
Finally my question, can I segregate TureNAS the same was as I've segregated my network? and allow Unifi to still handle the security? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? Can someone point me in the direction of some sensible knowledge? Thanks as always
