Per the review below, the Asus RT-AC88U has two switches.
Physical ports 1-4 are connected to the Broadcom BCM4709C0KFEBG switch and ports 5-8 are connected to the Realtek RTL8365MB switch.
After connecting devices to each physical port, you can use "robocfg show" to map the physical ports to their internal counterparts.
"robocfg show" reports the ports assigned to the default VLANs.
1) When connecting devices to physical ports 5-8, "robocfg show" reports they're all on internal Port 5. Why is that ?
2) Let's say you wanted to isolate each port from the other with private VLANs. You would only be able to assign one private VLAN to physical ports 5-8 since they appear to share the same Port 5 internally, correct ?
3) Why does port 8 appear as tagged in vlan1, but untagged in vlan2 ?
4) The WAN port is on the same switch as the physical ports 1-4, correct ?
