UBNT US-8-60W is $109 VLAN tag each AP port. Set up your downlink as a VLAN trunk. Then each AP will have its own private channel back to your core/edge router. I am no VLAN expert by any means. There are lots of experts here. But this is the method I used literally 18 years ago when faced with this same problem. I used a cisco managed switch that was built for wide temperature conditions. 2900 or 2500 or something like that. Worked like a champ.
Are you sure the ubiquity switch you have at each tower does not support VLANs?

We don't have that many customers to support a huge investment. Ok, looks like the advice is to replace the ubiquiti switches with ubiquiti routers? I haven't seen in router setup any provision for BNG, maybe I'm missing something. I'd never get management willing to replace a $100 switch with a $3,000 Cisco router, especially on a network where we wouldn't make that much ROI in several years (we have a board of directors who keep threatening to shut us down, they're mostly from last century and barely know how to use a cell-phone). Am I wrong in thinking we can configure an Edgerouter X to prevent these multicast storms we're having in our networks? I'm loathe to use any natting, can I leave these in bridge-mode and get a solution to the problem? On 6/18/21 5:24 PM, Mark Radabaugh wrote: Absolutely! Glad to hear others are doing this - it’s what Amplex has been doing for years. I get really tired of the ‘experts’ telling everyone there is only one ‘right’ way to build a network, yet have never heard of this.

Some of the fixed wireless stuff requires a hack to run the CVLANS through another box to add the second tag but that's cheap and easy enough. A Netonix 6 mini hanging off a switch can do it with either 0x88a8 or a second 0x8100 tag. Cambium supports QinQ natively. On Fri, Jun 18, 2021 at 2:36 PM D.
