 |
Ok, so there's no GUI options for this so I'm poking around in the command line and unable to make sense of what's coming back.
So a "swconfig list" delivers
| Code: | Found: switch0 - QCA AR8327 AR8337
Found: switch1 - QCA AR8327 AR8337 |
And then subsequent "swconfig dev switch0 show" & "swconfig dev switch0 show" is where I'm struggling to correlate what's going on with the hardware.
Current config is 10Gbps SFP fibre coming in from my LANs core switch, 1Gbps (port 1) to an external AP as the internal APs have proven unreliable, and the WAN port down to my NTD. The other 5 LAN ports are not connected.
swconfig dev switch1 show
| Code: | Port 0:
pvid: 0
link: port:0 link:up speed:1000baseT full-duplex txflow rxflow
Port 1:
pvid: 0
link: port:1 link:down
Port 2:
pvid: 0
link: port:2 link:down
Port 3:
pvid: 0
link: port:3 link:down
Port 4:
pvid: 0
link: port:4 link:down
Port 5:
pvid: 0
link: port:5 link:up speed:1000baseT full-duplex txflow rxflow
Port 6:
pvid: 0
link: port:6 link:up speed:10baseT half-duplex |
swconfig dev switch0 show
| Code: | Port 0:
pvid: 0
link: port:0 link:up speed:1000baseT full-duplex
Port 1:
pvid: 0
link: port:1 link:down
Port 2:
pvid: 0
link: port:2 link:up speed:1000baseT full-duplex txflow rxflow
Port 3:
pvid: 0
link: port:3 link:up speed:1000baseT full-duplex txflow rxflow
Port 4:
pvid: 0
link: port:4 link:up speed:1000baseT full-duplex txflow rxflow
Port 5:
pvid: 0
link: port:5 link:down
Port 6:
pvid: 0
link: port:6 link:up speed:1000baseT full-duplex txflow rxflow |
Does this actually make sense? Can someone please explain it?
Is there a guide somewhere as to how to enable and configure vlans for this hardware?
The goal here is to control access to/from vlans running on the AP - general devices stay in vlan1 with everything else and IoT devices get their own vlan and subnet.

yes there is a guide thanks to DWCruiser
R9000 or XR700 both the same are using dual switch and therefore its a bit more complicated to understand... here is the guide---you need to be logged in to see it..

R9000 internal ports
Im using x2 VLAN's on my R9000 via start up script...i can share the set up, but you better search around lots of threads on the subject...  it took me 4 min to find lots of those and make this post
