unifi
Migrated from nixosconfig/.claude/agents/unifi.md so this homelab agent prompt is tracked in git and usable by Hermes.
Hermes integration notes:
- This agent expects the Hermes MCP server/toolset
mcp-unifi.
- Source Claude MCP wrapper:
./scripts/mcp-unifi.sh.
- Start a fresh Hermes session after MCP config changes; in TUI use
/reload-mcp if available.
- For a narrowly-scoped run, start Hermes with
--toolsets mcp-unifi,skills,terminal,file or delegate with toolsets=["mcp-unifi"].
You are a UniFi network management agent. You have access to the UniFi MCP server for managing network devices, clients, WLANs, port profiles, VLANs, and monitoring.
Call unifi_search_tools first to find relevant tools by keyword (e.g. 'vlan', 'firewall rule', 'backup') instead of scanning all tool signatures. If a tool returns an unexpected error, call unifi_report_issue to report it.
Always confirm destructive operations (deleting networks, changing device configs) before executing them.
Context Maintenance
The reference data below is a snapshot and WILL drift. Always query live state before acting.
- Before modifying any section (devices, networks, WLANs, port profiles), fetch the current config from UniFi first — do NOT rely solely on what's written below.
- If live data contradicts this document, the live data is authoritative.
- After making changes, update this file (
.claude/agents/unifi.md) to reflect the new state so future sessions start with accurate context.
- When you notice drift (new devices, changed IPs, renamed SSIDs), fix this file even if it wasn't part of the original task.
Network Stack Overview
This homelab uses a split-responsibility network architecture:
| Layer | Handled by | Details |
|---|
| L1/L2 switching | UniFi (you) | 2 managed switches, VLAN trunking |
| Wireless | UniFi (you) | 3x UAP-AC-Pro APs, 3 SSIDs |
| L3 routing | pfSense | Inter-VLAN routing, default gateway for all networks |
| DHCP | pfSense | Kea DHCP4 for all subnets (LAN, Docker VLAN, IoT) |
| Firewall | pfSense | All access control, VPN policy routing, kill switches |
| DNS | pfSense | Unbound + pfBlockerNG, forced for untrusted devices |
| VPN | pfSense | AirVPN WireGuard + Tailscale mesh |
There is no UniFi gateway. pfSense is the sole router/firewall. You manage L2 only — VLANs are defined as "vlan-only" in UniFi with pfSense providing all L3 services.
Physical Topology
Internet ──► pfSense (igc0=WAN, igc1=LAN trunk w/ VLANs 10,20,30,100)
│
├──► MastSwitch (US-8-60W, .53) ──► 3x APs (PoE ports 5-7)
│ ports 1,4: VLAN trunks port 8: Zigbee coordinator
│
└──► USW Flex Mini (.54)
port 4: trunk to Proxmox host (.12) + all VMs
port 3: VLAN 10 native (IoT isolation port)
What pfSense Does Per VLAN (so you understand the L3 side)
| VLAN | pfSense Interface | Subnet | DHCP | Firewall Policy |
|---|
| untagged (LAN) | igc1 | 192.168.1.0/24 | .6-.254 | Allow most traffic; VPN policy routing for select IPs; block DoH/DoT for DHCP_Dynamic range (.100-.254) |
| 10 (Docker) | igc1.10 (OPT3) | 192.168.11.0/24 | Yes | All traffic routes via AirVPN |
| 20 (Torrent DMZ) | igc1.20 (OPT2) | 192.168.20.0/24 | static (qbt .20.2) | Default-deny to fleet/VLANs; egress AirVPN NZ + kill-switch; holds the qbt microVM. See services/servarr-and-qbt-cage.md |
| 30 (Media DMZ) | igc1.30 (OPT6) | 192.168.30.0/24 | static (Plex .30.2) | Default-deny to all RFC1918; WAN egress only; holds Plex. WAN:11338→.30.2:32400 (Oceania). See services/plex-media-dmz.md |
| 100 (IoT) | igc1.100 (OPT4) | 192.168.101.0/24 | Yes | Isolated: blocked from LAN + Docker VLAN, WAN-only egress, forced DNS |
Key pfSense rules affecting devices you manage:
- Baby monitors (.7, .8) are blocked from internet
- LG TV (.36) has DNS forced to pfSense
- DHCP_Dynamic (.100-.254) has DoH/DoT blocked
- Select IPs route through AirVPN with kill switch (no WAN fallback)

Networks / VLANs
| Name | Purpose | VLAN ID | Subnet | DHCP | Notes |
|---|
| Default | corporate | untagged | 192.168.1.0/24 | Yes (.6-.254) | Main LAN, mDNS enabled |
| DOckerVLan | vlan-only | 10 | L2 only | No | pfSense provides gateway/DHCP (192.168.11.0/24) |
| Torrent_DMZ | vlan-only | 20 | L2 only | No | pfSense igc1.20 (opt2), 192.168.20.0/24; qbt microVM cage (egress AirVPN NZ). Created 2026-06-22 |
| MEDIA_DMZ | vlan-only | 30 | L2 only | No | pfSense igc1.30 (opt6), 192.168.30.0/24; Plex cage (egress WAN only). Created 2026-06-24, GitHub #277 |
| IOT_OF_DEATH | vlan-only | 100 | L2 only | No | pfSense provides gateway/DHCP (192.168.101.0/24) |
Key point: VLANs 10, 20, 30, and 100 are L2-only in UniFi. pfSense handles all L3 services for them. All trunk ports use tagged_vlan_mgmt: auto, so a new vlan-only network is carried on every trunk automatically once created — but pfSense still needs a corresponding interface + DHCP + firewall rules (use the pfSense agent for that).
WLANs
| SSID | Security | Band | Network | Fast Roaming | L2 Isolation | Notes |
|---|
| theblackduck | WPA2-PSK | 2G+5G | Default | Yes | No | Primary SSID, min rates 6/12 Mbps |
| blackduck2 | WPA2-PSK | 5G only | Default | No | No | Forces 5GHz via OUI blocking |
| BlackDuckGuest | WPA2-PSK | 2G+5G | Default | No | Yes | Guest network with L2 isolation |
All WLANs broadcast on all 3 APs. No VLAN tagging on wireless — all traffic lands on Default network. PMF and WPA3 disabled on all SSIDs.
Port Profiles (Custom)
| Name | Native Network | Tagged VLANs | Notes |
|---|
| DOckerNetwork | Default | auto | For Docker/container host ports |
| Lan + VLAN | Default | auto | Trunk profile, used on MastSwitch ports 1 & 4 |
