OpenWRT Switch configuration with vlan

When you have a  adsl interface for WAN Option in such devices (HG556a) and you want to use Ethernet as a WAN Connection, you required following configurations in your network configuration file :

Default network Interface config :

br-lan = LAN & WIFI
eth0   = LAN Ports (4 Port)
wlan0  = Wireless Interface



In Default configuration Device is configured to use adsl Modem as a WAN port

4 port ethernet switch (eth0) and Wireless radio are bridged.



LAN 1 = Switch Port 0
LAN 2 = Switch port 1
LAN 3 = Switch port 2

WAN   = Switch port 3

BCM6358 SOC

The BCM6358 combines an ADSL2+ transceiver and AFE with a high-performance VIPER MIPS32 CPU, hardware ATM SAR, dual 10/100 Ethernet, dual USB 2.0 hosts and 1.1 device, multichannel 8/16-bit TDM/PCM bus, 16/32-bit parallel expansion bus supporting CardBus, PCMCIA, and mini-PCI into a single high-performance monolithic device.

The ADSL2+ transceiver delivers up to 29 Mbps downstream and 3 Mbps upstream, enhanced QoS for IPTV video, dual-latency framing, and embedded operations channels for remote management of the CPE. Powered by the VIPER MIPS32 CPU and supplied software, the ADSL2+ modem performs wire speed bridging and routing between the WAN and the various LAN interfaces, and supports custom application development with industry-standard EJTAG debuggers, tool chains, and development environments.

Features : 

    Highly integrated, single-chip A/VDSL2+ integrated access device (IAD) solution with seamless, multiuser support of 10/100 Ethernet, USB 2.0, Bluetooth®, DECT™, multichannel VoIP, and IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n wireless home networking
    G.992.1, G.992.2, G.992.3, G.992.5, G.993.1, G.993.2, and T1.413 compliant ADSL transceiver and AFE with worldwide support for Annex A, B C, M, and L
    High-performance VIPER™ CPU supports simultaneous wire speed routing and VDSL2 data rates, multichannel VoIP, and advanced applications such as remote management via TR-069 and SNMP.
    Integrated VoIP processing, using the widely deployed and field hardened DSLxChange software, eliminates design complexity and cost.
