|
||||
|
||||
### Port Assignments
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
HAP ax³ Ports:
|
||||
├── ether1: WAN (ISP DHCP)
|
||||
├── ether2: CAP XL ac → VLAN 10 (PVID=10)
|
||||
├── ether3: CSS326 switch → VLAN 10 (PVID=10)
|
||||
├── ether4: Unraid eth1 → VLAN 10 (PVID=10)
|
||||
├── ether5: Unraid eth2 → VLAN 10 (PVID=10)
|
||||
├── wifi1: XTRM (5GHz) → Tagged VLANs 20,25,30,40
|
||||
└── wifi2: XTRM2 (2.4GHz) → Tagged VLANs 20,25,30,40
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Bridge VLAN Table
|
||||
|
||||
```routeros
|
||||
# VLAN 10 - Management (port-based)
|
||||
vlan-ids=10 tagged=bridge untagged=ether2,ether3,ether4,ether5
|
||||
|
||||
# VLAN 20 - Trusted (WiFi MAC-based)
|
||||
vlan-ids=20 tagged=bridge,wifi1,wifi2
|
||||
|
||||
# VLAN 25 - Kids (WiFi MAC-based)
|
||||
vlan-ids=25 tagged=bridge,wifi1,wifi2
|
||||
|
||||
# VLAN 30 - IoT (WiFi MAC-based)
|
||||
vlan-ids=30 tagged=bridge,wifi1,wifi2
|
||||
|
||||
# VLAN 40 - Catch-All (WiFi default)
|
||||
vlan-ids=40 tagged=bridge untagged=wifi1,wifi2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## WiFi Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### SSIDs
|
||||
|
||||
| SSID | Band | Interface | Password | Security |
|
||||
|------|------|-----------|----------|----------|
|
||||
| XTRM | 5GHz | wifi1 | M0stW4nt3d@home | WPA2/WPA3 |
|
||||
| XTRM2 | 2.4GHz | wifi2 | M0stW4nt3d@IoT | WPA2 |
|
||||
|
||||
### WiFi Datapath (Critical for VLAN)
|
||||
|
||||
```routeros
|
||||
/interface wifi datapath
|
||||
add name=dp-vlan bridge=bridge
|
||||
|
||||
/interface wifi configuration
|
||||
set cfg-xtrm datapath=dp-vlan
|
||||
set cfg-xtrm2 datapath=dp-vlan
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### WiFi Access-List (MAC-based VLAN Assignment)
|
||||
|
||||
The access-list assigns VLANs based on client MAC address:
|
||||
|
||||
```routeros
|
||||
/interface wifi access-list
|
||||
|
||||
# VLAN 20 - Trusted devices
|
||||
add action=accept mac-address=AA:ED:8B:2A:40:F1 vlan-id=20 comment="Samsung S25 Ultra - Kaloyan"
|
||||
add action=accept mac-address=CE:B8:11:EA:8D:55 vlan-id=20 comment="MacBook - Kaloyan"
|
||||
add action=accept mac-address=BE:A7:95:87:19:4A vlan-id=20 comment="MacBook 5GHz - Kaloyan"
|
||||
|
||||
# VLAN 25 - Kids devices
|
||||
add action=accept mac-address=F2:B8:14:61:C8:27 vlan-id=25 comment="iPhone - Dancho"
|
||||
add action=accept mac-address=90:91:64:70:0D:86 vlan-id=25 comment="Notebook - Kimi"
|
||||
add action=accept mac-address=2A:2B:BA:86:D4:AF vlan-id=25 comment="iPhone - Kimi"
|
||||
|
||||
# VLAN 30 - IoT devices
|
||||
add action=accept mac-address=D0:E7:82:F7:65:DD vlan-id=30 comment="Chromecast"
|
||||
add action=accept mac-address=94:27:70:1E:0C:EE vlan-id=30 comment="Bosch Oven"
|
||||
add action=accept mac-address=C8:5C:CC:52:EA:53 vlan-id=30 comment="Xiaomi Air Purifier"
|
||||
add action=accept mac-address=18:DE:50:5B:C8:A6 vlan-id=30 comment="Tuya Device 1"
|
||||
add action=accept mac-address=38:1F:8D:04:6F:E4 vlan-id=30 comment="Tuya Device 2"
|
||||
add action=accept mac-address=D4:AD:FC:BE:13:B0 vlan-id=30 comment="Intellirocks"
|
||||
|
||||
# Default - VLAN 40 for unknown devices (MUST be last!)
|
||||
add action=accept vlan-id=40 comment="Default - VLAN40"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:** The default rule (no MAC specified) must be LAST in the list!

## CAPsMAN Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```routeros
|
||||
/interface wifi capsman
|
||||
set enabled=yes interfaces=wifi1,wifi2 package-path="" upgrade-policy=suggest-same-version
|
||||
|
||||
/interface wifi provisioning
|
||||
add action=create-enabled master-configuration=cfg-xtrm name-format=identity slave-configurations=cfg-xtrm2 supported-bands=5ghz-ax
|
||||
add action=create-enabled master-configuration=cfg-xtrm2 name-format=identity slave-configurations=cfg-xtrm supported-bands=2ghz-ax
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Critical Lessons Learned
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. VLAN Filtering Breaks IP on Bridge
|
||||
When you enable `vlan-filtering=yes` on the bridge:
|
||||
- IP address on the bridge interface **stops working**
|
||||
- You **must** have IP on the VLAN interface instead
|
||||
- Never have same IP on both bridge and VLAN interface simultaneously
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Correct Order of Operations
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Create VLAN interfaces
|
||||
2. Add IPs to VLAN interfaces (can have temporary duplicate)
|
||||
3. Configure bridge VLAN table
|
||||
4. Set port PVIDs
|
||||
5. Add VLAN interfaces to firewall interface lists (LAN)
|
||||
6. Enable VLAN filtering
|
||||
7. Remove IP from bridge (if any duplicate)
|
||||
8. Move DHCP server to VLAN interface
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. WiFi VLAN Assignment
|
||||
- **Do NOT use** `action=query-radius` without configured RADIUS users
|
||||
- **Use** WiFi datapath with `bridge=bridge`
|
||||
- **Use** access-list with `vlan-id=XX` for MAC-based assignment
|
||||
- WiFi interfaces must be **tagged** in bridge VLAN table for dynamic VLANs
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Firewall Interface Lists
|
||||
After creating VLAN interfaces, add them to the LAN list:
|
||||
```routeros
|
||||
/interface list member add list=LAN interface=vlan10-mgmt
|
||||
/interface list member add list=LAN interface=vlan20-trusted
|
||||
/interface list member add list=LAN interface=vlan25-kids
|
||||
/interface list member add list=LAN interface=vlan30-iot
|
||||
/interface list member add list=LAN interface=vlan40-catchall
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Safe Mode
|
||||
- Enter with **Ctrl+X** in WinBox
|
||||
- Changes auto-rollback if connection lost (~10 minutes)
|
||||
- Exit and save with **Ctrl+X** again
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Useful Commands
|
||||
|
||||
### Verify VLAN Status
|
||||
```routeros
|
||||
/interface bridge print where name=bridge
|
||||
/interface bridge vlan print detail
|
||||
/interface bridge port print
|
||||
/ip address print
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check WiFi Clients and VLAN Assignment
|
||||
```routeros
|
||||
/interface wifi registration-table print
|
||||
/interface wifi access-list print
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check DHCP Leases per VLAN
|
||||
```routeros
|
||||
/ip dhcp-server lease print where server=dhcp-vlan10
|
||||
/ip dhcp-server lease print where server=dhcp-vlan20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Add New Device to Access-List
|
||||
```routeros
|
||||
/interface wifi access-list add action=accept mac-address=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX vlan-id=20 comment="Device Name" place-before=[find comment="Default - VLAN40"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Emergency Rollback
|
||||
```routeros
|
||||
/interface bridge set bridge vlan-filtering=no
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Restore from Backup
|
||||
```routeros
|
||||
/system backup load name=vlan-setup-complete-2026-01-31
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
## Pending Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Configure CAP XL ac to join CAPsMAN**
|
||||
- CAP is on VLAN 10 at 192.168.10.2
|
||||
- Needs provisioning to extend WiFi coverage
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Configure CSS326 for VLAN Trunking**
|
||||
- Switch is on VLAN 10 at 192.168.10.3
|
||||
- Needs VLAN configuration for room distribution
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Add Remaining Devices to Access-List**
|
||||
- As devices connect, add their MACs to appropriate VLANs
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Configure Inter-VLAN Firewall Rules**
|
||||
- Management → All (full access)
|
||||
- Trusted → IoT (control smart home)
|
||||
- IoT → Internet only (isolated)
|
||||
- Guest → Internet only (isolated)
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Test VLAN 25 (Kids) and VLAN 30 (IoT)**
|
||||
- Connect devices and verify DHCP/internet
|
||||
