Since the switch default management VLAN is VLAN 1, you need to create general interface (no VLAN ID) on your firewall/router first.

Here are some steps for the deployment:

  1. Configure your firewall with the general interface and VLAN interface.
  2. Add your switch to Nebula.
  3. Pre-configure your switch on Nebula. Ex. management VLAN, port settings, etc. P.S. Each port are configured to be a member of management VLAN, you don't need to set manually.
  4. Connect your switch to the firewall. The switch will get IP from the firewall's general interface.
  5. Switch connects to Nebula via the general interface.
  6. Switch change to Nebula mode and reboot.
  7. Switch boots up and connects to Nebula via the general interface.
  8. Nebula push configuration to the switch.
  9. Switch gets new IP address from the firewall's VLAN interface and connects to Nebula.
