Hello I have a soekris device net 5501 with OpenBSD 4.5 snapshot installed on it. the hardware is well supported but I fail to reach the optimal configuration. I hae a big problem.

actually I have one uplink port  vr0

and I have 3 internal net ports  vr1 vr2 vr3


i planned to attach to v1 and vr2 and vr3 three different WiFi access points with 2 different SSIDs and so with 2 different VLANS, one vlan for each SSID.

so I set up the ports because I want to ahve the possibility to sue up to 3 access points.

actually everything works on port vr1. on vr1 I have 3 diferent VLANS, the default NIC vlan NATIVE that is untagged, the vlan100 and vlan101. Everything works. What I need is this to work at the same time also to the other two ports vr2 and vr3 so that I can attach up to 3 WiFi Access Points.

this is my configuration

ifconfig vr1 172.16.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig vlan100 172.16.100.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 100 vlandev vr1
ifconfig vlan101 172.16.101.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 101 vlandev vr1

so everything works here but I want to replicate the same configuration to vr2 and vr3 so that I have vlan100 and vlan101 also on the other ports.

The problem is that I tried in dozen of ways without being successful, on the other ports only the default NIC native vlan works...

I tryed to do this configuration to have a multi port vlan forwarding
like if I had a switch:

 ifconfig vr1 172.16.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.0
 ifconfig vr2 up
 ifconfig vr3 up

 ifconfig bridge0 create
 brconfig bridge0 add vr1 add vr2 add vr3 up

ifconfig vlan100 172.16.100.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 100 vlandev vr1
ifconfig vlan101 172.16.101.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 101 vlandev vr1


but in this way it works only for ACcess point plugged on port vr1.

If i plug it on vr2 or vr3 it does not work...

Basically I need to implement a 3 port network switch and on every port I need to forward vlan100 and vlan101.

I am not able to do it, it works only for one port at one time, the port
identified by VLANDEV in ifconfig command.

Any hints or suggestions ?


thanks

Rick
