VLANs on Ubiquiti Switch (self.ubiquiti)

I recently swapped out my old TP-Link switch for a Unifi switch. I'm setting up the VLAN configs as I had it on my previous switch, but wanted to be sure I am understanding this correctly.

For some devices such as my APs, I am trunking the ports they connect to, tagging the VLANs that will need to be present for the corresponding WiFi networks these APs provide.

For other devices that are plugged directly into the switch and which should only have access to a single VLAN, I am setting that VLAN as the default network, and blocking all other VLANs.

Is this the correct approach?

That sounds correct, yes. You want those single device ports to just be in access mode, not trunk mode.

Perfect, thanks and HNY!
