(This on RT-AC86U RT-AC68U)
Could someone kindly explain what the IPTV settings do for someone from Cisco IOS background?
Thank you.
[Background: my ISP has installed a Nucleus Connect fiber modem with two ports enabled: one for internet access and one for IPTV (i.e. IPTV doesn't actually share the internet subscription/WAN interface but is a completely separate L2-network on its own tagged VLAN). I was hoping to use the RT as an Internet router + L2-managed switch to distribute to the rest of the home. The STB is hardcoded to require tagged Ethernet frames on VID 1091.
In the SSH CLI it would look like:
# create a standalone L2-network for VLAN1091 IPTV
ip link add name br1091 type bridge
# create a trunk port to receive IPTV from Nucleus modem Port 2
ip link add link eth3 name eth3.1091 type vlan id 1091
ip link set eth3.1091 master br1091
# create a trunk port to uplink IPTV/internet to rest of home
ip link add link eth4 name eth4.1091 type vlan id 1091
ip link set eth4.1091 master br1091
Can the IPTV GUI do this?

Example ASUSWRT stock firmware LAN-IPTV->Select ISP Profile->Manual Setting:
Internet: VID AAA
LAN Port 4: VID BBB
LAN Port 3: VID CCC
What happens to eth0(Internet) eth3(LAN Port 3) eth4(LAN Port 4) (or br0)? In VLAN terminology
Access port:
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan NNN
Trunk port:
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan ??
switchport trunk native vlan ???

What happens to eth0(Internet) eth3(LAN Port 3) eth4(LAN Port 4) (or br0)? In VLAN terminology
- which ports are VLAN trunks (which VLANs are enabled on the port and which are tagged/untagged)
- which ports become access ports and what is the native VLAN?
Access port:
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan NNN
Trunk port:
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan ??
switchport trunk native vlan ???
