Setting UDM Pro to a non-default network (lemmy.world)

Just joined the club and got my first piece of ubiquiti gear! I spent some time doing the initial configuration and adding my VLANs, static IPs, however I ran into a bit of an issue that I'm sure is a quick fix.

By default the UDM Pro is on 192.168.1.1, and that's fine. I actually use the 192.168.1.0/24 as a management VLAN for networking devices that other VLANs don't need access to.

The problem I'm running into is that this default space that the UDM Pro is on does not have an option for a VLAN tag. I can change the IP of the default network to be something else like 192.168.100.0/24, and make a management VLAN on 192.168.1.0/24, but then the UDM Pro will grab a 192.168.100.0/24 address (since it is on the default network).

How, after doing this, can I set the UDM Pro to be on this new management VLAN and not the default?

If I’m understanding your question, I think this will help: https://lazyadmin.nl/home-network/unifi-vlan-configuration/

UniFi on the UDM is a little archaic with how it uses its default VLAN. I really hope they get to improving this soon.

Zachariah’s link to lazyadmin.nl is a good resource.

Note that IP addresses and subnets are not the same thing, and I think your original post conflates them somewhat.
