My current setup includes a RasPi acting as the PPPoE server (using rp-pppoe), because of issues with the internal NIC (for which the driver seems to have issues in conjunction VLAN tagging) it is sending traffic untagged to an VLAN7 untagged port on a managed switch.
On the same switch I have a VLAN7 tagged port where I attach the test-device.
Code: Select all
Raspi Switch DeviceToBeTested
+--------------------+ +-------------------------+ +------------------+
Internet <=> RealRouter <=DHCP=> ~ WiFi | | tagged port VLAN7 = <=> = PPPoE VLAN7 |
| | | | | |
| PPPoE-Server =>LAN = <=> = untagged port VLAN7 | | |
+--------------------+ +-------------------------+ +------------------+
Questions are like:
Tagging individual interface and creating a bridge out of the tagged ones, or creating a bridge first and taggig this one?
Can I uses the PPPoE server on the bridge or do I have to configure it per interface?
How do I have to configure routing for the PPPoE clients?
I would like the result be like (being not even sure it this is a feasible approach):
Code: Select all
hEX
+---------------------------------+
Internet <=> RealRouter <=DHCP=> = ether1 ether2 = <=> Used_to_manage_the_hEX
| |
| PPPoE-Server => VLAN7 +- ether3 = <=> DeviceToBeTested_001
| +- ether4 = <=> DeviceToBeTested_002
| +- ether5 = <=> DeviceToBeTested_003
+---------------------------------+
This would simplify it even more because the users of this setup wouldn't have to care which port can be used for what.
Having read a lot of HowTos I might have grasped the concepts but it seems I can't get it to run.
Because I'm not really sure what is not working my next step would be to try to replace the RasPi functionality first and then try to do the same with VLANs.
The setup is NOT security relevant, VLAN is only required because of the devices to be tested.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can provide the current rp-pppoe configuration (from the RasPi) if this would be of any help.
