At this time everyone should assume the GUI is broken unless it is said otherwise in the confirmation links. I'll see about coming up with something to make setting the nvram variables easier if I can...

GUI works for "clasic" 100Mbps switches which load switch-core and (switch-robo or switch-adm)


I can confirm that the WRT54GS v5.0 supports port based vlans via the GUI with 14929 micro. I will flash a micro plus SSH, retest via nvram and update this post.

EDIT: vlans via nvram on 14848 NEWD micro plus confirmed.

WRT54GS v5.0's ports are mapped like this:
4 3 2 1 | case labels
3 2 1 0 | nvram port numbers

"/proc/switch/eth0" does exist

Infor can be found here WRT54GS v5.0 vlan info

I got interesting results last night with the WNDR3300, after failing with some of my own settings, i tried the 'basic' examples mentioned in the wiki, which from output on the shell said it was working (tried the block all LAN ports example) but i could still plug into any port and get access.

Also there is no webgui VLANs tab in the WNDR3300 mini test build, so i am guessing this is not a 'classic' 100Mbit. I am gonna flash back to 14853 and do some manual tests once again with the codes that phuzi0n provided in earlier post and see how that does.

Not if they're running k2.6 builds.
http://svn.dd-wrt.com:8000/dd-wrt/ticket/1701

Also, even with k2.4 builds and a 100mbps switch there are some inconsistencies with certain features that the GUI doesn't always account for, particularly with 802.1q tagging. Some models seem to tag even without the "t" after the port number in vlan#ports variables (the GUI never use "t"), but other models must have "t" set for tagging to work.

The VLAN GUI page should show up if you've enabled it. With the test build you need to run these commands.

nvram set force_vlan_supp
nvram commit
reboot

@phuzi0n, What tests can be run if /proc/switch does exist?

root@NG3300:~# nvram show | grep vlan.ports

root@NG3300:~# nvram show | grep port.vlans
port5vlans=0 1 16
port3vlans=0
port1vlans=0

port4vlans=0
port2vlans=0
port0vlans=1
root@NG3300:~# nvram show | grep vlan.hwname
vlan1hwname=et0
size: 23926 bytes (8842 left)
vlan0hwname=et0
root@NG3300:~#


WNDR3300 seems good with it, now i need to see if i can get some tagging going.

EDIT: take that back /proc/switch doesn't show and also even with the commands to force vlan support using 15042 mini the webgui still does not show a tab for it.

Decided that my posts were getting a little long and I was gonna include that info on my wiki so just decided to add it there and make a link.

Doh, it should be this:

nvram set force_vlan_supp=enabled
nvram commit
reboot


It's not very important whether /proc/switch exists or if it functions correctly. As I've explained a few times, it is used for updating the running configuration in real time instead of rebooting. You can just echo your port configuration to the files nested deep within the directories to update your VLAN port configuration in real time. I gave a couple examples already so go back and look at them if you're really interested in it.

Just got my Asus RT-N16 back from RMA and can test command to get VLANs working properly. I want to set LAN Port 4 on separate VLAN with DHCP IP Address assigned in the 192.168.3.1 range. What command would I need to use in Telnet.

Aha! that did it man, thanks. I am also guessing (seen in the VLAN supported wiki) that tagging with the wndr3300 aint happening. I have tried to get tagging working as well, no such luck thus far, but i can atleast now get it working at the port lvl.

Also, the converted WRT320N to an E2000 works the same for VLANs, i will test a 'real' E2000 when i get home tonight (atleast hopefully)
