Devices Offline when VLAN tagging applied

Technical Support for Routers
1

Hi folks,

I have a Flint2 router running OpenWrt 24.10.0-rc2 r28161-ea17e958b9 / LuCI openwrt-24.10 branch 24.337.27339~b1968d9

I have it connected to 2 APs which are also running OpenWRT. When I apply VLAN tagging using Bridge VLAN Filtering, all my clients accept those connected to my main router appear offline. They are definitely online and working fine, but for some reason my Flint2 router sees them as offline.

Is there some configuration I have missed? The VLANs I have work perfectly fine. I just don't understand why my Flint2 is reporting them offline or how to fix it. thank you!

I've still not resolved this. The devices are all showing ok on Luci, so it must have something to do with the Flint2 GUI.

These devices in VLAN should not belong to devices which on the bridge (br-lan, br-guest).

The GL GUI -> Clients is read from these two bridges, so it may be inaccurate to list the VLAN clients.

GL GUI currently does not support VLAN.

Thank you for the reply Bruce. Do you think it's possible to add support for this in the future? Thanks!

I don’t know about version 24 OpenWrt, but on their native version 4.7 firmware with version 21 OpenWrt this is what happens to me, so maybe it’s happening to you. It seems to depend on how the LUCI GUI checkbox is setting the ‘option vlan_filtering’ option on the bridge device’s configuration in the ‘/etc/config/network’ file.

Thanks for the reply. I checked my network config file and I don't see any mention of option vlan_filtering but my VLANs are working fine. Here's an example:

config bridge-vlan
	option device 'br-lan'
	option vlan '10'
	list ports 'lan1'
	list ports 'lan2:t'
	list ports 'lan3:t'
	list ports 'lan4'
	list ports 'lan5'

My understanding is that this isn't necessary for bridge-vlan filtering. Not inv 24 anyway.

Hello,

PM has collected the VLAN requests, but there are not many users currently evaluating the user using this function, and the settings are relatively complicated, so we are valuating for it.
