OpenWrt VLAN configuration with a Managed Switch

@MagicPants, welcome to the community!

While I appreciate your answer, my networking knowledge is not enough to understand straight away how the switch and the OpenWRT router would be configured.

You'll need to improve your skills - quickly.

@MagicPants

Would you mind explaining that in a bit more detail?

@MagicPants

and call it VLAN 10 for example, how, in the OpenWRT settings, do I tell that traffic in VLAN 10 on the Netgear switch has to have a 10.230.1.x address, and everything else has 10.230.0.x?

Using VLAN 10 as an example:

• Create a new Interface under Network > Interfaces with an available VLAN ID (e.g. VLAN 10), you can call it lan2- you will address it as 10.230.1.1/24 - the PHY you enter is eth0.10
• Enable DHCP (optional)
• Add it to a firewall zone
• Configure the switch to trunk VLANs 1 (LAN) and 10 (LAN2) - in this example, I used switch port no. 4

• Configure a port on the switch to receive VLANs 1 and 10 via trunking/tagging
• Connect cable to Netgear switch's trunk port (configured for VLANs 1 and 10); and to the OpenWrt's trunk port (now configured for VLANs 1 and 10 also)
• Configure access ports on switch for either VLAN 1 or 10
• Connect devices to appropriate ports
• Done!
