SXR50 tagged VLANs for SSIDs and AP mode
Hi, I'm trying to setup my SXR50 in AP mode to work with a managed TP-LINK switch to have 3 SSIDs available for HOME, STAFF and GUESTS. Each of these SSIDs would have a tagged VLAN. So: 1) I con...
Is not an Orbi requirement, its the concept of vlans. Imagine each Vlan as separate LAN with a different network range. The benefit is that you can use a single port or switch to manage several networks. I forgot to mention that the ports connecting the firewall to the switch and the switch to the Orbi must be configured as Trunks.
I think you missed the firewall configuration. DHCP must be configured for each vlan.
DHCP must be configured for each vlan ?
I configured several vlan on my tp-link switchs and it have no problem.
Yes, is your firewall the DHCP server? It supports VLAN?
My DHCP server is a netgate and I never configured VLAN on my netgate.
Why I need configure VLAN to use VLAN on my SSIDs ?You never configured VLAN on the netgate because you were not using Vlans. Each vlan you are creating at the Orbi are separate networks, for example: 192.168.1.x /255.255.255.0 , 192.168.2.x /255.255.255.0, etc etc. Each of those networks needs a DHCP server. So what you should do is to vlan tagging until the netgate and there assign the network for each VLAN.
