Vodafone FTTP VLAN

[SteveM]

I have read that for OpenReach FTTP the VLAN isn't needed. I'm hoping this is the case.

I am using an RT-AX58U router and the WAN port is on eth4

However, in case it isn't I was looking at scripting a /jffs/script/services-start to set up the VLANs based on the need for 101 for OpenReach and 911 for city fibre.

Example:

#VLAN Settings for Vodafone - Uncomment relevant lines below if needed.
#Create the VLAN interface on the WAN port (e.g., eth0, check your router's specific interface)
#ip link add link eth4 name eth4.101 type vlan id 101
#ip link add link eth4 name eth4.911 type vlan id 911

# Bring the VLAN interface up
#ip link set eth4.101 up
#ip link set eth4.911 up

# Assign the VLAN to your desired network bridge (e.g., br0 for WAN)
#brctl addif br0 eth4.101
#brctl addif br0 eth4.911

However the output of

brctl show

currently doesn't include eth4 in the bridge:

eth0
eth1
eth2
eth3
eth5
eth6
wl0.1

If I did need to set up a VLAN, would the above script (with the correct lines uncommented) work or should I be doing something different?

Thanks in advance

You're in the uk using vodafone over openreach fttp. VLANID is not needed unless your connection is via Kingston Communications (Humber area).
Even if a VLAN was needed it'd be done elsewhere in the lan settings so no need for scripting.
