Hey all,
I recently upgraded (side-graded?) from a WRT1900ACS to a Netgear R7800. I installed the newest FW, which is a bit different to the 19.02 which I was using (uses DSA). Everything seems to be working properly, but I just wanted to get some more experienced eyes on my config to confirm.
My network consists of a Modem which feeds to my PFsense box (handling DHCP/ Firewall/ etc) which feeds to my R7800 (AP mode). My R7800's ports on the back are also configured for different VLANs
My VLANs:
- LAN (VLAN 100)
- Infrastructure (VLAN 200)
- Guest (VLAN 300)
- Smart (VLAN 400)
- Work (VLAN 500)
To get things working on 21.02, I created my VLANs and then bridges them to the parent interface. For example, my VLANs are all based off of eth0, so I bridged eth0.1 and eth0 together for my LAN VLAN, eth0 and eth0.2 together for my Infrastructure VLAN, etc.
Attached are some images of my config. Does everything look alright? Also I noticed there is a 2nd CPU in the Network > Switch area which I have toggled to off. Does it make sense to use this with the other CPU or would that cause a conflict?

In summary:
Does this config look correct?
Should I also be using the other CPU to tag my VLANs?
Update:
Per someones recommendation, I removed the base device (eth0) from the bridges, so now the bridges contain only the VLAN (eth0.1, eth0.2, etc).
