Hello, I think I stuck on the last 10% to get trunking on my home network running. Current configuration: gateway: Archer C7 V4 r44406 currently there are running 4 networks on this router Home LAN/Wifi VLAN1 Home VPN Wifi VLAN3 Guest Wifi VLAN4 all bridges and DHCHPs setup and working on this device VAP: TP Link 1043 OpenWrt 19.07.4 r11208 connected to Home LAN and distributes Home Wifi Target configuration: My target is to trunk/tagg all 4 networks to the VAP and distribute all 4 Wifis on the VAP Question 1: how do I create more than 4 VLANs in the WEB UI? Question 2: how is the trunk Port defined in the Web UI? Question 3: does the dropdown menu "assign to Bridge" in "Setup/Switch Config" section assign to a brigde, but to which on? tbh, this drop down menue makes no visible sense for me, can anyone explain this to me? unfortunately I found no proper guide or forum thread were these questions are answered. BTW, is there a good reason why the wiki is pretty much outdated and the forum is almost the only source were to get information? I think you guys often do get the similar questions because of the lack of a better information source..._________________VLANs, Wireguard Site to Site, OpenVPN Client, WDS TP-Link Archer C7 V4, V5 TP-Link Archer A7 V5 TP-Link WR1043 V4 Unifi UAP-AC-MLast edited by tomron on Mon Mar 22, 2021 14:07; edited 1 time in total

I'll tell you what I tell everyone about VLANs w/ dd-wrt. VLANs are hardware dependent, and as such, questions need to be asked in the relevant forum for your router's chipset (TP-Link is typically Qualcomm/Atheros). Each chipset has its own way of handling it. For example, in the case of Atheros (iirc), it uses its own switch utility called swconfig. That's why VLAN (re)configuration rarely works using the GUI. It was originally designed for Broadcom routers, specifically the now ancient Linksys WRT54G series. As other brands w/ other chipsets got support from dd-wrt, little to no effort was made to keep the VLANs portion of the GUI compatible. It just fell by the wayside. And that's why nearly all VLAN support requires scripting and the CLI. In short, it's NOT a pretty picture for anyone needing VLAN support and expecting to have it work w/ the GUI. And it's why many of us in tech support don't get involved in it (particularly in this forum). Even if we wanted to, it would likely mean needing access to the exact same hardware as you to diagnose any problems. And why it's best you address your issues in the relevant forum, where the likelihood of that happening is much greater._________________ddwrt-bind-static-routes-to-wan.sh (UPDATED! 11/12/24) * ddwrt-blacklist-domains.sh * ddwrt-dns-monitor.sh * ddwrt-ovpn-client-backup.sh * ddwrt-ovpn-client-killswitch.sh * ddwrt-ovpn-client-watchdog.sh * ddwrt-ovpn-server-watchdog.sh * ddwrt-ovpn-split-advanced.sh * ddwrt-ovpn-split-basic.sh * ddwrt-mount-usb-drives.sh * ddwrt-wol-port-forward.sh

Topic moved. Usually, the only gripes I've seen about moving topics from Advanced Networking is due to them being about Broadcom hardware, since the rest use swconfig and associated CLI commands AFAIK, so I didn't move this one before Embarassed_________________"Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity" Contribute To DD-WRT Pogo - A minimal level of ability is expected and needed...

The switch is configure using swconfig To show current configuration: swconfig dev switch0 show

OK thanks, didn't know that vlans are that device specific and the gui isn't really usable. I will study the cli commands and sort it then out. Would it then not be a good idea to place that information into the help section of this configuration page? Unfortunately the help section is completely empty and gives no clue how to handle vlans, which then results in countless threads how to configure vlans by the web ui... I mean it's just workload for the forum mods which could be mostly avoided._________________VLANs, Wireguard Site to Site, OpenVPN Client, WDS TP-Link Archer C7 V4, V5 TP-Link Archer A7 V5 TP-Link WR1043 V4 Unifi UAP-AC-M

do your recommend to make the VLAN Configs rather via startup script or to write it permanently into NVRAM??? Thanks!_________________VLANs, Wireguard Site to Site, OpenVPN Client, WDS TP-Link Archer C7 V4, V5 TP-Link Archer A7 V5 TP-Link WR1043 V4 Unifi UAP-AC-M

swconfig must be put in startup script. Nvram is not an option on an Atheros.

is there also a reason why NVRAM is not an option? just want to know why? Thanks!_________________VLANs, Wireguard Site to Site, OpenVPN Client, WDS TP-Link Archer C7 V4, V5 TP-Link Archer A7 V5 TP-Link WR1043 V4 Unifi UAP-AC-M

It's for Broadcom.

ok... is there some document oder wiki article which I can take as reference?? I only find sources how to handle vlan configuration by modifying the NVRAM... Am I blind or is there really nothing Thanks_________________VLANs, Wireguard Site to Site, OpenVPN Client, WDS TP-Link Archer C7 V4, V5 TP-Link Archer A7 V5 TP-Link WR1043 V4 Unifi UAP-AC-M

The wired ports shall not be tagged. Is that correct?

is this still true that VLANs are limited up to 127? Thanks_________________VLANs, Wireguard Site to Site, OpenVPN Client, WDS TP-Link Archer C7 V4, V5 TP-Link Archer A7 V5 TP-Link WR1043 V4 Unifi UAP-AC-M

Appears to be a hardware limitation. Chip is chippy (where's my chippy?).
