OT: since we're speaking about the wrt3200acm, i have a question:
it seems that the four ethernet ports are connected to a single-chip ethernet switch, and appear as a single interface (called "lan" in my openwrt installation).
Is it possible, somehow, to "unbundle" them and make them appear as four different ethernet interfaces (like eth0...eth3) ?
I'm asking this because i have a vlan-capable switch and would like to have a separate network connection in each vlan, with the each network interface in its own zone.
- slug 4y agoYou didn't specify if you are using openwrt and which version. I used wrt1900 and wrt3200 as router with one of the latest openwrt (not the one posted) and do precisely that, have each switch physical lan port on a separate interface and network range. It has been possible for quite a while, but the latest DSA changes to the linux kernel make the process much simpler. https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/dsa/dsa-mini-tutorial https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/dsa/dsa-mini-tut... https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/dsa/dsa.html https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/dsa/dsa.ht...
- wtallis 4y agoYour router is already a VLAN-capable switch—that's how it separates the WAN and LAN ports. It's a 7-port switch: by default it's configured as four LAN ports, one WAN port, and two ports are wired up to the SoC (https://openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt3200acm#switch_ports_for_vlans https://openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt3200acm#switch_ports_for_...). Using OpenWRT you can reconfigure the VLANs to suit your needs.
