Can firewalla be used on a segmented VLAN only?

Greetings,   I've had a Firewalla Red for a while now and recently upgraded my entire home network to a Unifi Dream Machine (switches, APs, etc).  Now I have several VLANs for  Trusted Networks, IoT, Guest, etc.  Would it be possible to connect the Firewalla Red to one of my vlan segments (ex. Wireless) and have it still function as usual and perform it's ARP redirection to inspect all the traffic on that segment?    I do not want to use the FW Red for all the vlans on my network since it's capped ~100mb throughput and most of my network is Gigabit now with an ISP connection of 500mb.   

Just wondering if the FW Red would run into any issues in this setup or not play nice with the Dream machine.   

Cheers..

  Yes, you can connect Firewalla in simple mode to a switch port (not a trunk port), then it should work.
