| Jun 12, 2015 at 10:01 | comment | added | alitheg | I'm wondering if the best option at the moment is to just stick all clients on the same subnet and change it to a /22 instead of a /23. In time, we'll need to expand the network and I can add a proper managed switch where I can do proper VLAN tagging without anything else involved. Might be easier once it's all my own kit! | |
| Jun 5, 2015 at 8:08 | comment | added | alitheg | Sometimes. That's what I was pinging in my edited question - I'll post the response. | |
| Jun 4, 2015 at 17:52 | comment | added | Jim G. | Okay, progress! Can you ping the WLAN gateway from the wireless VLAN? | |
| Jun 4, 2015 at 16:23 | comment | added | alitheg | According to this: community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeMAX/…, the PVID is always 1 on the port unless you are explicitly using a VLAN. So it looks like in theory my setup is as you describe! Unfortunately my tagged traffic still can't get through though! | |
| Jun 4, 2015 at 16:18 | comment | added | alitheg | I've added some more info above - I can use WiFi if the traffic is untagged, but when it's tagged it fails. I also realised that it's not just a complete failure to communicate, it's a combination of timeouts and really long latencies | |
| Jun 4, 2015 at 16:13 | comment | added | alitheg | You can indeed! My first attempt was using 2 VLANS configured on the switch, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to set the PVID! I've looked at the manual and an example config which says it has one, and it's not set anywhere in the config! | |
| Jun 4, 2015 at 15:55 | comment | added | Jim G. | I haven't set up an EdgeRouter before - can you set multiple VLANs on a port? You'd set the LAN VLAN as the PVID and untagged, the wireless VLAN would be tagged. Then on the AP you'd configure the wireless traffic to be tagged to the wireless VLAN. | |
| Jun 4, 2015 at 8:09 | comment | added | alitheg | That does seem like the cleanest option, (and I thought of Option 1 last night!). I have a couple of questions though: Can the EdgeRouter make sure that Wireless traffic goes on a VLAN? The only VLAN configuration I can see is configured by physical interface. I'd still be able to route traffic from the WLAN to the LAN devices using the router right? | |
