Hello, I have some n00b questions about port mirroring on my Archer C7 v2. I'm running OpenWrt 21.02.1, but since it seems like DSA support is still in the works for this target, am using swconfig.
I would like to mirror my lan traffic to send it to a IDS sitting on port 4. But when I grab the mirrored input via tshark, I only see traffic originating from wired clients, not wireless clients. If I'm understanding this diagram correctly, I think I should get this traffic just by mirroring eth1: https://openwrt.org/_detail/media/tplink/tl-wdr7500/archerc7v2-switch-diagram.png?id=toh%3Atp-link%3Aarcher-c5-c7-wdr7500
From Luci -> admin -> network -> switch, I have all three checkboxes (enable vlan, mirror incoming, mirror outgoing) checked. My mirror source port is CPU (eth1), and my monitor port is lan 4 (where my IDS host sits). My VLAN setup is the out of the box setup, with LAN 4 turned off: vlan1, eth1 tagged, eth0, off, ports 1-3 untagged, port4 off, wan off; vlan2, eth1 off, eth0 tagged, ports 1-4 off, wan untagged.
From admin->network ->network, I have a single bridged lan interface that includes a sw vlan at eth1.1, plus wlan0, plus wlan1 (one for each radio). It is tied to the device br-lan. If I go to the devices tab for br-lan, I see that the bridge port is (again) eth1.1, and it comes with this note: Specifies the wired ports to attach to this bridge. In order to attach wireless networks, choose the associated interface as network in the wireless settings.
From admin -> network -> wireless, if I look at the interface configurations options for each radio, it just shows "lan" as the option. Should this be eth1.1 instead?
I am sure I bolloxed this up with some of my earlier science experiments, but am quite stuck here and would be grateful for any advice.
