Ubiquiti Networks

By default, UniFi places no restrictions on Corporate network traffic. These networks are assumed to belong to a trusted network group. For example, the Admin users in the MGMT VLAN would still be placed into a 'Corporate' network type, albeit a separate VLAN.

Site-to-site VPN network types are best suited for networks that may need to share resources with each other. This network type allows many devices to access resources on either side of the VPN tunnel if an administrator chooses to allow access. This network type also does not need username and password authentication for each device that may want to traverse the VPN tunnel.

Guest networks place more restriction on where client devices are able to navigate. By default, clients in Guest networks are not able to make contact with devices on Corporate networks or other Guest networks. This type of network is best utilized when client traffic only needs to reach the internet, and not other internal networks.

VLAN-Only networks can be used in a full-stack UniFi network for layer 2 isolation. These would be networks that do not need routing for the host devices. This network type is also best used when operating a gateway that is not managed by the UniFi Network Controller.

The VPN Client network type is suitable for connecting to a PPTP VPN service or PPTP server. While utilizing this type of network, the USG will make a connection to the remote PPTP server. The traffic that will be routed through this tunnel will depend on the "remote subnets" and "default route" settings.

The WAN network type is used for configuring up to two separate ISP (WAN) connections. These network types can be used in two varieties of failover only or weighted load balancing.
