what i’m trying to accomplish is to have a few switches connected via .1q to the gigabit ports of 2011, have the traffic switched and the router act as a gateway for each vlan.
From what i understand from the switch chip features, this is only possible with Atheros 8316 ?
Is there any way, other than doing software vlan + bridging of vlans on the 2011 ?
Ok to make myself more clear, here’s the scenario:
on 2011:
Port 1 - switch connected via 802.1q vlan trunking (say vlan 10,20,30)
Port 2 - switch connected via 802.1q vlan trunking, same vlans as above
Port 3 - switch connected via 802.1q vlan trunking, same vlans as above
Port 4 - needs to be access on vlan 10
Port 5 - needs to be access on vlan 20
How do i do that, and how do i “extract” the vlans on the 2011’s CPU so it can act as router between vlans ?
Hardware (Atheros8327) forwarding port 1,2,3. Port 1 as master
Software bridge port 4 to port1 sub-interface VLAN 10
Software bridge port 5 to port1 sub-interface VLAN 20
Do not need to change anything within “Switch” menu.
Atheros8327 unable to strip/add VLAN head. Atheros8327 can forward frame only.
The question is, sub-interfaces will be attached to which port in order for traffic coming from port 1,2 and 3 to be accessible on those sub-interfaces ?
Can someone give example commands on how to accomplish this?..or point me to a tutorial. I can’t seem to find any single tutorial or document with everything included to setup VLAN’s, trunking, and DHCP scopes on the RB2011. Thanks in advance.
I’d like to make a trunk to an Avaya 3524 switch. Right now I have all switching tied to bridge-local for wired and wireless. Ideally, I’d like to have 2 wired VLAN’s with their own subnet and DHCP scope, and a 3rd VLAN for wireless with it’s own subnet and DHCP scope.
Do I need to create a bridge for each VLAN? Is the default bridge-local untagged? If so, how do I make it tag on VLAN 1?
