Hi guys,
just got my mirouter (with hdd - bcm4709) about a week ago,
and then... *bam* not compatible with Unifi due to lack of VLAN tagging
didn't check the spec before bough it ... since it was OpenWRT based I though I'll be safe... who know .... haih

After that I went to google abit and found out you could actually do vlan tagging in CLI,
enabled the SSH daemon then login .... totally no idea how to configure it
read up abit ... sounds like /etc/config/network should be the 1 to "manual adjust"
now the content read something like below


restart network by running /etc/init.d/network restart ... check the log... still timeout for PADO packet
tried diff configuration ... still the same... and apparently xiaomi remove alot of common command like 'swconfig', 'modprobe' ...etc... where most online tutorial will ask you to swconfig dev ethXXX and modprobe the 8021q ..
btw, checked the dmesg ... 802.1Q VLAN blah is there ... but when i lsmod cannot find anything like that...does it matter?

hope any OpenWRT sifu can give some advice on this.
and other OpenWRT user (especially broadcom chip) can you post your /etc/config/network here?

thanks in advance.

isn't unifi required your wan port to be vlan tagged @ 500 in order to connect ?

thanks zzsub, finally some useful comment

for other OpenWRT user, can you share your /etc/config/network file? thanks

blacktubi:
they don't have the vlan option in the Web UI
therefore I need to SSH and manual edit the /etc/config/network file see if can work the magic ....

here's the /etc/config/network (from 0.7.68 dev. firmware)
check line with start with ## for my failed attempts



can't connect to unifi at this moment

amirsubhi:
tried that.... didn't work
I'm suspecting the problem more than edit the /etc/config/network...
perhaps need to play with the nvram settings, or broadcom default only support 0-15 VLAN id ... may need to recompile the code or something
haih

hahah I bricked my router when flashing third party firmware ....
their official forum (in chinese) doesn't really helpful, if you bash their product some of the nasty moderator will delete your thread and/or ban u.
so far no response on the official forum, I'm checking on other router modding forum.... they suggest I use the TTL/jtag cable to connect or even remove the flash rom and flash it ...
i'm not a hardware person so temporary put that on-hold until I found someone who could jtag for me

may found a solution tho, I'm now running tomato firmware on another router, able to vlan tag WAN port and no problem connect to Unifi
if my router ever come back to life, I know where to get a modded tomoto firmware for xiaomi r1d, and should be able to connect to unifi

Sorry wasn't follow this topic for awhile ....

mghong:
thanks for the commands, but xiaomi router doesn't come with vconfig command .... should be default to broadcom chipset but their "customization" restrain DIY fun... darn it
