Do portals work on bridged segments?

senseivita

If I have two VLANs bridge together, VLAN1 hosts everything (e.g; DHCP, DNS-SD…) while VLAN2 is only an empty carrier where VLAN1's traffic "spills over".

If I'd set a portal on VLAN2, would it work?

I was snooping around the portal options then when this occurred to me. I added a new interface with no address and discovered that it is available to put a portal in.

Continuing on needs real changes, so I left it there and came to ask instead. :)

If an address was needed for the portal to work, would a virtual IP address do?

A 'captive portal' needs a IPv4 IP and network - and a running DHCP server for that interface.
Unbound needs to listen on that interface.

Because you use VLAN : the device at the other end of the 'LAN' cable (over which the VLAN "5" is running) need to handle VLAn's and set up to sift out this VLAN5.
That could be your AP's), or, by default, a VLAN capable smart switch.
