I have a somewhat older device, an Excito B3 (armv5, 1GHz, 2*Gb NIC +
Wifi). I don't actually use the second NIC adapter internally though
because this also serves as my internet router. What I did was enable
VLAN tagging on the internal NIC and create multiple SSIDs on the wifi
and then I bridged some of these virtual objects. Confused?
WIFI:
The idea is the same as a guest wifi. Assuming you run Linux and your
machine has a wifi adapter, you need to install `hostapd`. The default
config should get you going to create a wifi AP. The next step is to
identify your adapter name and note it's MAC address but change the
first two digit number to become `02` (e.g. if you have
`09:ab:cd:ef:12:34` write down `02:ab:cd:ef:12:34`). In your
hostapd.conf add/edit the following directives:
Code:
--------------------
interface=<interface name>
bssid=<altered MAC address>
--------------------
I use a udev rule to override the so-called predictable names to follow
the old standard where the wifi adapter is wlan0. To create additional
SSIDs extend the hostapd.conf with directives like the following:
Code:
--------------------
bss=wlan0_0
ssid=squeezeplay
bss=wlan0_1
ssid=guest
bss=wlan0_2
ssid= privileged
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=CCMP
wpa=3
wpa_passphrase=ExtremelySecretPassword
--------------------
Note that the original wlan0 is your primary SSID, so if you add all of
the above you will have 4 wifi networks in total. Of course all of these
need their own static IP address and you require a DHCP server to
distribute IP addresses to connecting machines. Despite its name,
`dnsmasq` works excellent for this.
VLAN TAGGING
In a nutshell this means that you wrap your network traffic in an
additional envelope. Both peers must support it, meaning that you
require a switch that is able to understand this protocol (802.11q).
Since however the switch can either add or strip the additional VLAN tag
you do not need to make changes to other devices as well, but you will
have to mark which physical port on the switch is linked to what VLAN.
