Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2024 0:33 Post subject: E4200 - VLAN Switch Robo

I'm trying to enable VLAN support for my E4200 (build 30880)

The E4200 is connected upstream to a router on the WAN port (Connection Type: Disabled, Assign WAN Port to Switch -Checked).

The upstream network have untagged traffic and traffic (VLAN 10) - confirmed it is working by using a laptop or AP to verify

Once plug in to the WAN port, untagged traffic is working but I am unable to have the tagged traffic to Port 4 of E4200 LAN. The Port 4 will be connected to AP for untagged traffic and tagged VLAN 10 for different SSID.

Code:

rmmod switch-robo
insmod /jffs/switch-robo.ko
sleep 10
vconfig add eth0 10
sleep 5
ifconfig vlan10 up
sleep 5
echo "3t 4t 8t" > /proc/switch/eth0/vlan/10/ports
sleep 10

Any idea what is wrong on my configuration?

Use the webUI VLANs / Switch Config page.

I need to use this custom switch-robo thing. As I have another VLAN 600 that need to setup, but I am limited the scope to this for testing and validation. Even the Webgui, do you know how to configure it correctly? I can't get it to work as well.

Yes using an old and outdated build.
Current build is 54682.

Be sure to use the K3X build which uses Kernel 4.4

After update reset to defaults and setup from scratch, do not restore from a backup.

New builds can use the GUI (switch tab) to setup vlans

However, the GUI supports either tagged or untagged but not both on one port.

Command can do both?

Although allowed by IEEE 802.1Q the use of untagged and tagged VLANs in one trunk is not recommended as there are appliances which do not play nice with it.

So if you can avoid it

Yes, you can configure both via commandline.
But this is nonsense, if your device can tag 1VLAN then it can also tag both.

I wouldn't recommend K26, as that is what you are probably running.

Cool, I'm updating to this now. You drop in just in time when I am just about to flash. So I will update this version instead.

OK. I will try to fix my upstream to provide VLAN.
Assuming I'm able to do that, is this how I configure my VLAN?

you have to check the CPU port also.

Now you have a proper trunk on port 4 with VLAN 1 and VLAN 10

See the link in my signature with numerous examples.
The examples clearly show which settings need to be made.

These are not only switch settings but also settings in the "networking" tab etc

The threads are there so that users can inform themselves.

the CPU port must be ticked if you want to route VLAN10 into the router (if you want to use VLAN10 internally in the router)

However, if you only want to forward VLAN10 to another port, the CPU port does not necessarily have to be ticked

If you route VLAN10 into the router, you must remember that a VLAN10 interface is created which is bridged with VLAN1 via the standard setting.
So if you route VLAN10 into the router, you should unbridge VLAN10 - as you certainly don't want to have a bridge between the two VLANs.

Difficult to explain, maybe I'll create a diagram tomorrow
