Looking for testers for MerVLAN
Another note: Been doing some reading and as i suspected Asus uses a proprietary tunneling for the Guest VLANS when using WiFi backhaul. This is not 802.1 VLAN but a tunnling directly from one WiFi chip to another and it will strip any real tags on the way. So while you can segregate your...- r80xcore

Looking for testers for MerVLAN
@Seth Harman @visortgw I have updated the repo with: 1. The ability to execute the mervlan_manager on the nodes only. 2. Added many Pro models into the hw_probe. If the model isnt found it will revert to max 6 SSIDs and 4 LAN ports. How you use it? 1. Install the addon. 2. Navigate to LAN...- r80xcore

Looking for testers for MerVLAN
This wont be a problem. MerVLAN already is node capable and can sync to nodes and even set them up remotely. What we need is only to be able to strip the local execution from a already VLAN capable device. I am going to try editing the GUI to detect Pro routers and strip local executions on...- r80xcore

Looking for testers for MerVLAN
Yea that was actually what I meant. I was unclear. Difference is that when I Asus router is a member as a AiMesh node it's a slave that gets it's config from the main router. This means the if rebooted of even reset it will be found and auto configured to be a member again. This just like I have...- r80xcore

Looking for testers for MerVLAN
I would like to probe this a little further if possible. As I do not have access to a Pro model I would need someone to be willing to test out a a pre-build that I would make in that case. This would be done in SSH only right now and main focus will be through ethernet backhaul before we try to...- r80xcore

Looking for testers for MerVLAN
I already have an SSH implementation that automatically copies all the needed scripts and files to nodes for execution remotely and later automatically. The only think I would need to do is a seperate settings for only nodes. I will definetly look into the WiFi backhaul and see if it's...- r80xcore

Looking for testers for MerVLAN
From what I've read it seems that Asus are tunneling the SSID vlans from the wireless nodes. This would from my understanding effectively strip any 802.1Q tags that was applied before traversing the wireless backhaul. Can anyone confirm this?- r80xcore

Looking for testers for MerVLAN
As far as this project is now, setting VLAN per device (end client) is not possible. What we can do is set VLAN per interface or VAP. This means that we can bind SSIDS and LAN ports to individual VLANs and then trunk (send them) through a wired backhaul. Wireless backhaul is not possible here as...- r80xcore

Looking for testers for MerVLAN
In that case should be able to use a "node sync" -version only. This is when we copy only the needed files for configuring the accesspoint. Right now i dont have any GUI version for that, but making a custom installer for that wouldn't be too hard. This way you would need to put in the vlans...- r80xcore

Looking for testers for MerVLAN
Okay so you connect a cheap managed switch to the node on U51 (example) and the uplink to the main to allow T51? Right now this script acts like a manged witch in that sense. It tags the SSID as T51 the sets the uplink to allow T51 towards the Main etc. It does not run any tagged (U51 etc)...- r80xcore

If the Main unit discovers VLANs then we should be able to configure the nodes with MerVLAN and keep the main out of it. It depends on how the discovery there is. Do you configure it like a normal vlan like on Opnsense/Pfsense?- r80xcore

Looking for testers for MerVLAN
Yes I agree, it would be really nice. I was under the impression that the Pro user wouldn't be interested in this at all. I've actually blocked most Pro units just so I don't screw with it, don't fix what isn't broken, ey? If you would use my script as is right now it would most likely spawn...- r80xcore

Looking for testers for MerVLAN
Sorry but could you explain the network path here for me so I know what we are dealing with. Do you run the Pro models in router mode or AP mode to an firewall/router like Opnsense etc? Can you explain the problem you are having and why MervLAN would fix that? I read something about the VLANS...- r80xcore

Looking for testers for MerVLAN
As this is working now all SSIDs and Ports can be tagged and then handled by another box (VLAN capable router, OPNsense, Pfsense etc). All work is being made on a XT8 with node so no work on Pro models are planned as I simply don't have access to one. If specific features are wanted for the Pro...- r80xcore

Looking for testers for MerVLAN
Do you mean with a Pro model or through scripting? MerVLAN lets you assign or change VLANs anytime for both Wi-Fi and Ethernet using a single config file and through the GUI. It also gives you control over AP isolation on all SSIDs (even the main ones), not just guest slots. You can tag regular...- r80xcore
