      I have purchased this SG-3100 in hopes that I could use all 5 interfaces on the back for my needs.  I would like to have 2 VLANs (10 and 666).  I also have a Ubiquiti AP AC Pro.  I'd like it to hang off of mvneta0 (OPT1).  It should be a trunked interface so both VLAN 10 and 666 are going to that AP.  Then, I'd like LAN 1-4 to be ACCESS ports.  I'd like to assign either VLAN 10 or 666 to any of those ports.  Do I need to setup a BRIDGE to do this?  If so, what is the proper method?  Thanks!

        I would not bridge.

        I would tag the VLANs to another switch if 4 switch ports is not enough.

          That seems to be the consensus on the IRC channel, however, it would be nice to have more than just 4 interfaces.  I'm still trying to figure out how to trunk an interface on this mvneta1 device.  I need to have LAN1-3 on VLAN 10, and LAN 4 am 802.1q trunk interface for VLANs 10 and 666.

            @joltman:

            however, it would be nice to have more than just 4 interfaces.

            IMHO it is not worth all the hassle and performance hits of a software bridge for every VLAN to get just one additional port.

            Need more switch ports? Get more switch ports.

            I'm still trying to figure out how to trunk an interface on this mvneta1 device.  I need to have LAN1-3 on VLAN 10, and LAN 4 am 802.1q trunk interface for VLANs 10 and 666.

            First, be sure you are on 2.4.2_1. If not, update. Another post forthcoming with details.

              Derelict,

              Again, thank you for responding!  I've decided to forgo the bridging idea.  In my other post, I bring up some questions I have about the way to properly trunk an interface and change it's native VLAN.  Thanks!
