I’m in the midst of fiddling with VLAN and port tagging and I’m very confused. I get strange outcome on VLAN listed per device. VLAN 90, 192.168.90.1/24, setup as Isolated, and firewall rule allowing traffic from 192.168.90.0/24 LAN to WAN (may not be necessary?). The purpose is to keep my old rout…

[image] ebuckland81: I get strange outcome on VLAN listed per device. now seems resolved by today’s batch of firmwares (Route10: 1.3x, Switch: 2.1t, AP: 2.2g). Devices now seems to have appropriate VLANs. :+1::slightly_smiling_face: ▶ Screenshot of appropriate VLANs

Can you explain the intent of the Asus router in this equation? It sounds like you’re trying to route a VLAN through the Route10 but another VLAN through the Asus router?

The intent is just to have an isolated passage from my Asus router through to the ISP. It is not overly necessary but I got very confused over why the router showed up as VLAN 2 in the context of Route10 devices. The Asus router is free of VLAN except for any native VLAN.

So the topology would be Route10 → Asus Router → Various clients?

Yes, indeed. A few clients already moved and some not yet migrated from the Asus router to the Route10, and I want the non-migrated devices to still be up an running with internet access. So, as I mentioned, the internet access works but I’m confused over the VLAN listing.

Ok, there’s really no need for a VLAN at all as the Asus router would take on a DHCP lease from the Route10, then through NAT and its own DHCP server, hand out addresses behind the Asus NAT. However, it should be pretty straightforward if you wanted to add a VLAN. [2025-01-23_13-43] Add VLAN Sp…

Agree totally. However, the intention was to follow exactly that procedure already before, so I would assume it should have worked. But to be sure I set up a new VLAN 91 right now as per your instructions (also with only one IP in the pool with your suggestion on /30). I assumed step 5. relates to …

Yes, definitely appears to be a bug. Have you only attempted this on the Android app?

The Alta Android app doesn’t show this kind of information from what I have been able to see. In the Alta Op app (!?), that I got suggestion to install when on the web controller page through Chrome on Android phone, shows this information. Not sure in what context/browser/app the controller is mana…

So the screenshots are from the web interface, just happens to be on an Android phone? There’s no individual controllers. The web and mobile apps all talk to our cloud, so no worries about that.

Yes, screenshots from an Android phone using the web interface.
