Unifi AP's Dell Switch configuration for multiple vLan's.

Hi!

I've got a question on how to correctly setup some Unifi Access points that are connected to a dell 3024p switch. The access points are connected to ports 1-12 and port 22 is connected to our sonicwall router. I've got vLan1 is the main network and vLan20 is the guest wifi. I've got the network created in the unifi system and the vlan interface configured on the sonicwall also. The sonicwall also serves as the dhcp server for the guest wifi. All this was working on the unifi poe switch until it broke. We changed over to the dell poe switch now. I need a little help getting the conf dialed in. Currently I can connect to the internal wifi and get an ip address from our server and internet access. When I connect to the guest wifi I'm not able to lease an IP address, but if I put in a static IP I'm able to get to the guest portal and internet.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

did you configure DHCP point to Sonicwall on Dell for wireless network ?

vLan20 is the guest wifi

configure this Vlan on Dell Switch and point DHCP server as Sonicwall
or
configure wireless accesspoint to connect DHCP of sonicwall (each wireless accwesspoint.)

the thing is unifi poe switch is the management switch to manage multiple Wireless accesspoints from single console...

Hi,

Yes the dhcp server on the sonicwall is configured to provide addresses in the 10.0.0.x range to Vlan20. How do you point the vlan on the dell switch to point to the dhcp server on the sonicwall? Is it the IP helper command? Also, what port type should I be using for the access points? I've got them configured as trunk ports at the moment.

Thanks!

This is my current config:

Main network is: 172.16.0.0
Guest Wifi Network is: 10.0.0.x
Port 22 on the switch connects to port 4 on the sonicwall.

I got it working with dell pro support.
Here is my working config from the switch

Additionally I think there was a update in the unifi management software that check the option on the wireless network page "Block LAN to WLAN Multicast and Broadcast Data" that option needs to be unchecked for the DHCP server responce to make it back to the wifi clients. Its under wireless networks - network settings. I hope this helps someone else in the future.
