Hello world,
I've read multiple docs and YT tutorials but nothing works out for me. Latest thing I've tried was viewtopic.php?f=23&t=143620.
Reading the documentation makes me feel a little like every bit and peace of the puzzle is documented but nothing about, how to put things together.
What I want to achieve: Distribute wireless and guest wireless in the house with two hAP lite (6.47. long term), one for the basement, one for the attic.
On the ground floor the router is a AVM FritzBox connected to a manageable TP-Link switch on two access ports.
I've configured two trunk ports with VLAN ID 10 for LAN and VLAN ID 20 for guest wireless.
Config was checked with tcpdump and I was able to see the traffic from both networks. So far so good.
Then I've configured eth4 as my management port so that I won't loose connection when playing around.
On eth2 I've connected to the trunk port of the switch.
Now I've added to vlan interfaces on ether2: if-vlan10 and if-vlan20.
For testing purposes, I've enabled DHCP client on both and got an IP from the matching subnets.
So I assume VLAN config on switch side is okay.
Now I've created the wireless and the virtual AP interface.
Both are in ap-bridge mode with different security profiles and VLAN mode is set to "no tag".
The VLAN id is set to 10 on the main wireless and 20 on the virtual ap interface.
After that, I've created two bridges, one for each VLAN: br10 and br20
I've added if-vlan10 and main wireless to br10 and if-vlan20 and the virtual ap interface to br20.
Clients associate with wireless but even if bridges were tested with and without VLAN filtering, no traffic passes the bridges.
If I understand correctly, packets leaving the switch contain VLAN tags, on the wireless side these shouldn't be present since the WLAN clients are not aware of the VLANs and will be separated via SSIDs. So at which point shall the bridge (or shall not) be aware of VLANs?
From my understanding when using VLAN interfaces, VLAN tags should not be longer be present "inside" the router?
Maybe someone can shed some light on that?
