    Using AC86U and N66U as router and managed switched for VLAN tagging/trunking

    So a fun thing I just found in researching (and testing) those TP Link switches is that you can't define a management VLAN and the management IP is available from every port on the switch, no matter what settings you change. So my "untrusted" VLAN can still access the management IP if you set a...

    Using AC86U and N66U as router and managed switched for VLAN tagging/trunking

    Yeah, I could theoretically turn the wifi on for the N66U and use that as the guest network, but I like having the guest network use my internal DNS server without having to forward a port from untrusted back into trusted.

    Using AC86U and N66U as router and managed switched for VLAN tagging/trunking

    For anyone following along, I spent another couple hours trying different things, including following another page on trying to create isolated LAN ports on just the AC86U using ebtables or iptables, and nothing seemed to have any effect. I ended up buying two cheap TP Link managed switches...

    Using AC86U and N66U as router and managed switched for VLAN tagging/trunking

    Yup, was looking through all those posts. I feel like I'm close but also not sure I want to spend the time trying to figure out what exactly is going on. I'm going to order 2 cheap managed switches online and give myself until they show up to figure it out. If I don't get it by then, I'll just...

    Using AC86U and N66U as router and managed switched for VLAN tagging/trunking

    Progress: I thought the interface eth4.501 that already existed from the guest Wifi setup was a VLAN, but it wasn't. I had to start with `vlanctl --if-create eth4 501` and then change `eth4.501` in my other lines to `eth4.v501` and now I can run the tag commands without an error. Continuing on...

    Using AC86U and N66U as router and managed switched for VLAN tagging/trunking

    I loaded FreshTomato onto the N66U and set up a trunk port (VID 1, 501, and 502 tagged), and 3 individual untagged ports. I'm now trying to figure out how to set up the AC86U to pass data properly through the trunk port, but I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out what I should be doing with...

    Using AC86U and N66U as router and managed switched for VLAN tagging/trunking

    Updated the AC86U to Merlin 386.5_2, ssh'd in and tried to run `robocfg show` and then realized I hadn't done enough homework. It looks like robocfg is not available on the AC86U and I'll need to use vlanctl or vconfig instead. This seems to be the page with the best info I can find so far...

    Using AC86U and N66U as router and managed switched for VLAN tagging/trunking

    Ooh, using one of the existing vlans or existing bridge sounds like a great idea. I was mostly worried about the DHCP config or breaking existing guest wifi IP options. I was looking at maybe upgrading to something like Ubiquiti, but at the moment it looks like most of their gear is sold out, so...

    Using AC86U and N66U as router and managed switched for VLAN tagging/trunking

    I plan on using the N66U just as a managed switch, no wireless or routing, with whatever firmware is easiest to do that, I guess. I just need to figure out how to add the equivalent capabilities to the AC86U as well.

    Using AC86U and N66U as router and managed switched for VLAN tagging/trunking

    I'll take a look at FreshTomato, I haven't seen that before. I think I'm missing a step though? How would I get one or more LAN ports on the AC86U on the guest network at that point? I was under the impression that Asus native doesn't have any support for that at all and I'd have to flash...

    Using AC86U and N66U as router and managed switched for VLAN tagging/trunking

    Hello! I wanted to check if this idea made sense/was possible before I break apart my working network and start flashing and reconfiguring things. I currently have an AC86U that I'm using as a router/switch/AP, and an old N66U that isn't currently in use. I have a single ethernet run between my...
