OpenWRT VLAN Configuration Part 1

[ramosel]

VLAN filtering works pretty well, but it's best to just kill all the stock interfaces and create all your VLANS as 802.1q, then bridge. Also, VERY helpful: Add software package for "ip-bridge". It gives you a really good method via SSH to see the VLANs and confirm the GUI setup.

Nicely done. Much appreciated on the explanations.

Just the thing I was looking for! Great job!

perfetto .. funziona alla grade nella mia rete... molto simile ... pfsense.... > switch managed trunk port ---> vlan OPENWRT... iot -wifi ..THANK !!!

In my cse I have OpenWRT in a container LXC. Is there any difference since the lan ports are virtual and larger part of my network is WIFI and want to add vlan to wired and wifi connection?

When segregating IoT devices via vlans (192.168.2.1), are you still able to view/control them via their app even when your iphone is connected to the main network (192.168.1.1)?

Would it be at all possible to publish the network diagram to allow viewers to "Follow along"???

I have followed your instructions to the T. however after adding interface and choosing my software vlan 10 (i have added only one VLAN) the interface shows an error: Network device not present. Any idea why?

I have an XR500 which made the ports named kind of goofy, so it was hard to follow any tutorials on setting them up in here. Theres 4 LAN ports but they are all referenced through 2 "CPU(eth)" interfaces so its a further layer of confusion. I ended up tagging all my vlans in the switch page, then creating a bridge device for each vlan with the management vlan individually. Then creating an unmanaged interface for each vlan bridge device that i can assign to the wireless. They are going through a trunk to a managed switch which is trunked to a firewall. It's working without the 'vlan bridge filtering' stuff, and I only have one static address for management configured on the openwrt. hope any of that makes sense.

Sory im skiped. Where you installed a openwrt? On router or on Pc or another device?

[TismoGaming]

Awesome video. How did you setup the boosters. I have a couple of TP-Link consumer routers that I could use as APs but not sure how you set your up to use as boosters

[mayankgupta]

I created couple of VLAN's (IOT and Guest) but my Amazon Echo devices keeps losing WiFi network intermittently somehow but all other devices remains connected to IOT. I am unable to figure out what's wrong :(

So if I had to tag vlans on wan and then lan ports I need to add the wan port to vlans bridge and tag the vlans for the wan port, or do i need to configure a seperate bridge for wan?

[AbcdefZxcvghj]

@Pragmatic Security Actually not... If u mess up network conf. and lost access, you can boot into recovery mode, assign your NIC static IP, SSH into router and fix it under CLI via ssh...

[SnakZ]

couldnt the red line ( internet line) just connect to the wan port on the router ? I know it probably doesn't matter as all ports can be change to but yeah :D

[IAmMan-]

Why the double bridge? Why not remove lan1 from br-lan, then add lan1 to a new bridge and do the vlan filtering on the lan1 bridge?

Hello there. I've watched your video part 1 and a bit of part 2 as well. But I do have a different situation with my home network setup. I have Openwrt running on x86 PC as a router and connected to TP-Link TL-SG1016PE v1. I wanted to have three different vlan IDs. So I want to have similar idea as yours, but mine is different because it's directly to connect to my TP-Link smart managed switch since I have two WIFI APs (has three SSIDs) and one LAN for everything else. I want to assign vlan on those three ones. Will this setup works? I'm pretty newbie with vlan configuration. I'm very familiar with Openwrt but vlan.

I need to correct you. Most IOT devices can use both 2.4 and 5ghz. Enable on your wifi to have both avaliable bit make sure that whichever device you can is configured to ise 5ghz band to reduce interfearances because everything in your house that can disrupt network works on 2.4 ghz. Not all IOT devices can use 2.4ghz but whenever you have an option to use 5ghz band go for it. 5ghz band had 36 channels i think and 2.4 ghz has 13. Do the and you'll understand.

[oliveirajmr]

unfortunatelly this doesn't work anymore... if you configure a new bridge on lan1 you need to delete that port from the old bridge. You can’t use same port on two bridges anymore.

HI thanks for your video, how can you add ex LAN 4 to vlan 20?
