After days of messing with ports and firewall rules. I finally got my Pi-Hole working on my Dream Machine SE.

Turned out to be the DNS settings on my router. I had to call my ISP to remove the restrictions so I should change the DNS setting.

After 15 mins, rebooting everything. The Pi-Hole now works Which also fixed the issue on the Dream Machine status showing I had no internet connection but I did. Now thats showing the correct status.

This is the first time you mention an ISP router.

This is the first time you mention an ISP router.

Because my friend has the same ISP and setup as mine and mentioned "call your ISP to check any restrictions on your hardware"

I didnt know this was a thing where I live, not in the UK BTW.

If you don't mention it, people will just assume you're connecting to an ONT/modem, not via another router (which brings quite a few issues in itself).

So I have an "A" rating

The MFA error was a pain to fix, I ended up doing a factory reset and importing in the config to clear it. I assume it must have had some old legacy account on it.

If folks were using a UDM, USW Pro and USW AGG which order would you have the PRO and AGG in from the UDM?

Could go UDM, AGG and then PRO or UDM, PRO then AGG.

 

[ChrisD.]

Since it's an aggregation switch, use it as an aggregation switch and use it as the first in the chain.

+1 - it’s meant to be the 10GbE or 25GbE interconnect between your other switches. So the Aggregation switch (top of the cabinet) is first and all the others plug into that one.

 

[SupraWez]

And you’d stick with that layout if doing some L3 on the Pro?

Here is a diagram of mine with all the other stuff removed:

Yes. The standard Agg switch is L2 so it will always pass all traffic.

 

[SupraWez]

I have three Agg so guess it would make sense to have the UDM into one AGG that then feeds the other two AGG and the Pro giving a nice 10gb backbone.

That’s an unusual use-case. I’m guessing you don’t have 24 switches hanging off them so can I ask why have 3 of them? They are actually really cheap 8-port 10GbE switches if you have clients with SFP+ ports on them.

Exactly that, I have 10gb clients

Here is a diagram of mine with all the other stuff removed:

This looks like the aggregation switch is doing nothing useful, unless there's some future plan for it, or things that aren't on the topology.

Edit: Oh there could be a number of 10Gb clients connected to it, ignore

I have loads of stuff connected to it, but I disabled it for that diagram otherwise it looks way too busy.

Only the UNVR Pro is shown and the Enterprise switch in that diagram is connected to it.

Well I went against the advice I received on here. Ended up managing to get a new (with warranty) UDM pro for near the going rate of a used one so just opted for that. The SE I would have preferred.

 

[ChrisD.]

I'd love the Pro Aggregation, I just wish it had more 25 Gb ports. I'm still rocking the US 16 XG, I'd like the USW Aggregation (non-Pro) as it's fanless but it doesn't have enough ports for what I need.

Finally got my Unifi Express from the EU store.

It’s really good, I have it setup on the ground floor with an UK-Ultra fed by a power line on the 2nd floor and it’s working pretty well. Going to attempt to run some cable to get the AP working at full speed upstairs.

Also bought a 16 port PoE switch so both coming now. Cheers @WJA96 for your recommendation of the Facebook group. Saved myself a fair whack
