I would much rather use VXLAN. But switches that provide VTEP support natively are too expensive, so I have to make do with 802.1q, which is awful and I hate it.

VLAN 0 is the same as untagged traffic, except it isn't, and nobody can explain why.

VLAN 1 is the “default” whatever the fuck that means.

VLAN 4095 is “all VLANs” somehow but again, what the fuck does that mean?

Figure this out and write the section. Right now I'm just pasting commands I found on other blogs, most of which feel AI-written. I haven't found the actual documentation yet.

I'm looking for CLI documentation for the switches because the web-based control software is so irritating and limiting. It does seem to “work” for making port profiles and assigning ports to VLANs. The air-quotes are because they're not doing what I expect them to do, or think they should do.

PEBKAC?

Here's some CLI stuff I found on a blog post.

My switch is a Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 24 Lite. Adjust accordingly to your gear.“

enable
configure
interface 0/23
    description NAS
    switchport mode trunk
    switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10,20,30
    switchport trunk native vlan 10
    exit

The native VLAN is my home network, so any traffic coming from my NAS or from a VM using the macvtap enp8s0 device should fall within the home VLAN.

We need to configure the host with VLAN aware bridges for other VLANs.
