Setting up LAN Guest Network on MT6000

@bruce I glad to hear that the version 24 gl firmware shows the ‘br-guest’ bridge device natively now, sweet.

However, I was able to make the ‘br-guest’ bridge device show up on the devices tab of the gl version 21 firmware’s LUCI GUI on my Flint 2.

The way I got the ‘br-guest’ device to appear on the LUCI GUI’s devices tab on the version 21 gl firmware, was to edit the ‘/etc/config/network’ file to change the Guest interface from being the ‘br-guest’ bridge, and adding a few lines to create the ‘br-guest’ bridge so that I could then see it in the LUCI GUI’s devices tab.

I changed the ‘/etc/network/config’ file by adding this;

  config device
     option name 'br-guest'
     option type 'bridge'
     option igmp_snooping '0'

And, I changed one line in the (interface 'guest') section of the config. I changed the line (option name 'br-guest') to (option device 'br-guest') which changed the Guest Interface from being the ‘br-guest’ bridge itself, to using the ‘br-guest’ bridge device I created.

I then saved the file and restarted the Guest LAN interface in the LUCI GUI, and when I went to the devices tab, I could then see the ‘br-guest’ bridge device and configure it further in the the LUCI GUI on the version 21 of the gl firmware.
