Luci don't want to set my LAN port as VLAN tagged

Installing and Using OpenWrt

@psherman
Like I mentionned in an earlier message, I discovered that one of my switch is a netgear GS108Ev2 which is actually a managed one.
I bought this one more than 5 years ago, and never managed it because it need a windows software and I had no windows pc at home at that time (and didn't really need a managed switch before).
This switch seems to be kind of "vlan friendly" because I have VLAN 100 from my ISP (for TV) for a long time going through this one.

The buffalo was connected to an umanaged GS316 that I bought recently, thinking it should act similar to the GS108E.

So, as a conclusion:
No VLAN goes through GS316
Some VLAN may go through GS108E managed but not configured, but I didn't tried further and just configure ti.
Now I have tagged what I need on this one, and the buffalo device accepts to tag what I want to tag.

@NPeca75
With suitable switch talking to the openwrt device, Vlan1 is untagged(access) and Vlan11 & Vlan22 are tagged is not problem.
All works perfectly now.

Thanks for the info!

if you look for such a switch, I would suggest to make sure it's webmanageable.
Those switch that request a special software.... it's so 2010 :wink:

@grenouille - I only buy managed switches these days, anyway. On another networking site, I was advising that the user remove unmanaged switches from their setup and I mentioned this thread and the trouble it caused (because sometimes unmanaged switches appear to be okay, and sometimes they aren't; they are never recommended for VLAN environments, though). The question about which model switch was implicated in the trouble here, so I figured I'd ask and pass it on as a datapoint.

Thanks!
