Shabea3,

Welcome to the forum.
Are you aware of the following regarding nanostation m2 xm:

1. This device does not have sufficient resources (flash and/or RAM) to provide secure and reliable operation.
2. OpenWrt support for this device will end after 2019.

I see in the logs that vlan is supported, but Idk exactly, I don't have a nanostation m2 xm.

If the device is using swconfig (OpenWrt v19 and lower) then vlan's can be configured @ Network / Switch within GUI.

swconfig

On newer OpenWrt versions (v21+ with DSA instead of swconfig) vlan's are set within Network / Interfaces / Devices.

Mini tutorial for DSA network config

Update from 2021-05-31: Option ifname was renamed to device This tutorial is valid for 21.02-rc2 (or newer) and recent snapshots Introduction DSA stands for Distributed Switch Architecture and is Linux kernel subsystem for network switches. It's an upstream replacement for OpenWrt's swconfig framework and many new routers use DSA drivers instead of swconfig drivers. In DSA each switch port is a separated Linux interface. It means ip / ifconfig command will show interfaces like lan1, lan2, w…

Hopefully that gets you further.

The full size Nanostation with two ports has a switch. The loco version with one port does not. On a loco, just use eth0.N to set up a VLAN tag.

The large ones are still swconfig with all present versions of OpenWrt. Additionally, the switch hardware is limited to 16 VLANs.

• If you are specifying the network yourself, it is best to use VLAN numbers between 1 and 15.
• If you need to connect to an existing device with a VLAN tag higher than 16, you will need to use the separate vlan / vid configuration scheme. I'm not sure if LuCI does that or not.

I thought the 2 port XM had 64 MB of RAM, but references on that vary. It may be 32.
