[OpenWrt-Devel] Fwd: [OpenWrt] #21573: hostapd: Full Dynamic VLAN support - vlan_bridge name list

[Vincent Fortier]

(Re-submitting as I needed to subscribe first... )

Thnx for the info.  I presume I should then submit my request for proposal
within this mailing list?  If so here is a bit more details surrounding my
use case:

It all started with this really well made documentation that I wished to
impleted (dynamic vlan over wifi):
https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/wireless.security.8021x

The issue I have is that we must provide a brige name suffix for this to
work.  I was hoping that instead it could be possible to provide a list of
bridge names instead.
Option could be either using a different parameter or something else?
1- if there is a single parameter to vlan_bridge use it as a suffix
or
2- if there are many parameter use the list of bridge names
This could also be implemented differently or using a new parameter, what
ever fits best (if any).

The underlying issue is that otherwise renaming all bridge to br-vlanX
totally removes the clarity of the various naming of each interfaces and
moves the configuration even farther from out of the box.

In my case I have 4 vlans whereas I would pass 3 of them as follow (if
feature ever added):
option vlan_bridge 'br-lan' 'br-media' 'br-guest'

To put more context to it here is an extract of the documentation:
...First, we must name our interfaces in /etc/config/network based on their
VLAN such as vlan1 and vlan3. This causes OpenWRT to name the bridges it
creates br-vlan1 and br-vlan3. Second, we set the vlan_bridge option in
/etc/config/wireless to "br-vlan" and the vlan_naming option to "0" what
this does is tell hostapd to create bridges using the br-vlanY naming
convention (where Y is the VLAN number)....

I'm sure there are more to it which may block such a request but I tought
it was worth asking.

Thnx in advance!
