Hello!,
So i was reading about this but i still got a little confused.
How would one sent a specific client to the new created alias?
As for now my current lan network ip is 10.234.53.1/24 and my alias has 192.168.1.1/24 with disabled dynamic dhcp.
I want to sent my isp tv box over this alias, would setting the tvbox to a static ip address be enough or do i need to add routing?
I'm confused. Are you saying you created a second [alias] interface on the same LAN - but with a different subnet (where you intend to statically address clients)?
If so, given it's the same physical network (i.e. no security) - why?
Thats correct, well I just wanted to try to isolate them, I readed aliases can also use their own firewall zone.
I know vlan can be used aswell, but i rather wanted my tvbox reflect the normal lan route from my old original isp box also avoiding having multicast/igmp over the full lan interface.
My isp router is now replaced with the openwrt one.
I guess you are using the wrong tool, but I think you should explain your current setup and what are you trying to achieve exactly.
well it's more of a homelab experiment from what I can do with aliases and what not 
I was reading it could be possible to setup a guest network like this without the need of vlan.
heres a diagram of the topology:
however the only piece i'm missing here is how would I make a client get on the alias network maybe by dhcp tagging or mac?
if all doesn't work I guess idd I use the wrong tool
If your clients are wireless, then you do not need VLANs or aliases, just define different networks and attach separate SSIDs to each one. If you clients are wired, I would use VLANs and isolated ethernet ports.
okay I guess thats the best way of doing it thanks
