Hi,
First off my network topology:
modem <-ethernet-> ac68u on merlin <-ethernet through port 1-> access pointA
From access point A:
access point A <-ethernet-> wired client
access point A <-wifi-> wireless client
With CTF enabled, I used the following commands to create a port based vlan on ac68u:
robocfg vlan 1 ports "2 3 4 8t"
robocfg vlan 3 ports "1 8t"
vconfig add eth0 3
ifconfig vlan3 up
brctl addif br0 vlan3
Observation with CTF enabled:
1) Wired client works fine i.e. can access internet.
2) Wireless client works partially -> ping google.com is successful i.e. at least DNS and ICMP works. But internet does not work in general i.e. browser opening google ip address would be stuck. Curl would be stuck.
With CTF disabled I need to replace port 8 by port 5 in the vlan creation command i.e.
robocfg vlan 1 ports "2 3 4 5t"
robocfg vlan 3 ports "1 5t"
vconfig add eth0 3
ifconfig vlan3 up
brctl addif br0 vlan3
Observation with CTF disabled:
1) Wired client works fine.
2) Wireless client works fine.
I am rather confused as to how CTF selectively discriminate packets through wifi interface vs lan interface on a bridged access point - the packets arriving from / sent to the bridged access point should be indistinguishable to the ac68u, no?
Anyways, if anyone had experience with this issue please share! I would love to get vlan working without sacrificing CTF.
