Nice thread. Apologies for re-opening it after almost half a year, but as a VLAN newcomer, I'd appreciate if you could explain how the rest of the network is used.
Let me explain. I have an unmanaged switch connected to a avm fritz 7270 (IIRC) ADSL router. As far as I have read on VLANs you have to have some sort of managed switch to have trunking etc.
Or do you just have a router that understands VLANs and keeps them separate? I'd appreciate any sketch you might have on your network, I'm in need of a similar separation on my own home network and I don't know how to go about it.
Hello comos,
Sorry for the answer delay. Regarding your question you have two possibilities :
1) You only have a VLAN transparency switch (don't remove VLAN header in the ethernet frame)
- In this case your libreelec can exchange with a host in the same VLAN on the same switch or on another switch which support VLAN transparency too
2) Case 1) + router or linux box which support VLAN and trunking
- In this case, case 1) + your libreelec can exchange with a host on an other VLAN or non tagged LAN if you configure your router to route packet between VLAN.
For your information in my case, I have :
- Libreelec --> unmanageable switch (VLAN transparency support) --> manageable switch trunked (with lot of VLAN) --> linux box (trunked with the manageable switch)
I hope theses informations can help you,
Max
