Getting USG to work with Sonicwall

I have been replacing antiquated equipment with unifi APs and switches. I have a sonicwall that breaks my feed into 2 subnets. One of them is content filtered for a school and the other is for church offices. I would like to install a USG for the latency and throughput info, but can't seem to figure out how to get it to work without it interfering with SW or APs.

Is there a way to do it? I can buy another so that each subnet can have its own. What I can't do is get rid of sonicwall or two distinct subnets as the school has to have the content filter and USG doesn't have enough of that capability.

I have changed IP and tried it on both subnets. I have tried it before the SW and after. I have adopted it, and it brings everything down. I have adopted it and get caught in a provisioning loop. It know shows managed by another device.

Thanks,
Pat

Hi pat8635,

To my knowledge the USG is a firewall replacement, so the answer would be "no", unless you replace the SonicWALL, which I wouldn't recommend.

Tell me more about the reason you want to install the USG...then maybe we can determine a solution for your need.

I am trying to get latency and throughput information. I would think that I can get that from SW, but have yet to find it in an easy to interpret way.

Thanks
