Config for Ubiquiti Dream Machine and Eero to Sonic ONT?

[shio_ramen]

Recently bought a Ubiquiti Dream Machine (and a SFP+ to RJ45 module). It seems like a fairly popular router amongst Sonic community for wiring and managing their home networks, and to take advantage of the speeds beyond 1Gbps especially up to 8.7Gbps.

Since the UDM has no WiFi, I've also got a few new Eero's for serving WiFi to phones and tablets. My current idea is UDM's 8 ports serve the wiring of a few bedroom's ethernet ports directly for devices that don't have WiFi.

Can anyone share how they are configuring their Ubiquiti networks with Sonic and their exact setting details used? Would love to replicate and make sure I'm setting mine up correctly.

Here's how I'm thinking of the network topography (with the Dream Machine serving as quarterback)
Sonic's ONT <-> to the SFP+ to RJ45 module in the Dream Machine <-> to Eero

Since Eero would be downstream to the router, what do I need to manually set in the Eero mobile app? Do I just put into Bridge mode to ensure it just works as an access point?

I don't use Ubiquiti gateways or eero but am familiar with their switches, APs and CKs. That said disable smart queues in the udm and consider disabling its IDS features or you'll be limited to 3.5g. And yes, you'll want to bridge the eero so it acts as a AP while passing off dhcp, etc. to the udm: https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us/artic ... o-or-eeros

If you haven't purchased the eeros yet you might consider using UniFi APs instead since the udm can manage them via its integrated network controller. They also support vlan tagging whereas the eeros do not I believe... May not matter if you're just going to setup a flat network but vlans can be very useful to help isolate iot devices, cut down on broadcast traffic, etc.
