Hi, I started looking at the source code of both swconfig (the kernel part) and ag71xx to check whether it would be easy to support tagged and untagged (i.e. both at the same time) ports on the integrated switch of TL-WR740N.
Before doing anything silly that would require recovery using the serial console, I wanted to ask knowledgeable people here whether there is any technical obstacle in achieving this. What I would like to achieve is the following: - I have a TL-WR740N and a TL-WDR4900 connected through a non-VLAN switch. I can only use one ethernet cable from the TL-WDR4900 to the switch. - I would like to have some traffic sent in a VLAN between the two routers while there is other untagged traffic going on in parallel (and also other non-VLAN computers connected to the switch. Both integrated switches would have their port 0 (cpu) tagged and port 1 both tagged (for, say, VLAN 2) and untagged for VLAN 1. In other words, if tagged traffic enters port 1, then it is forwarded to port 0 on the condition that it is tagged as VLAN 2; if untagged traffic enters port 1 it is tagged VLAN 1 and forwarded to port 0. Only traffic from VLAN 1 is stripped of its tag upon exit through port 1. This is something that others have tried to do, unsuccessfully as far as I know. The inability to have a port both tagged and untagged has been even reported as a bug (at least regarding AR8327). I want to start with the TL-WR740N first and then try with the TL-WDR4900. So is there anything that would make this completely impossible to implement? Thanks for any info on the matter.
