Allow WAN Trunk on Gateways

Allow WAN Trunk on Gateways
Allow WAN Trunk on Gateways
a week ago
Model: ER7412-M2  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.0 Build 20251015 Rel.63594

The new Virtual WAN feature demonstrates that the gateways can handle multiple WANs per port, but the controller will not allow a WAN VLAN ID that is in use by a VLAN. Instead, allow a Virtual WAN to be associated with a VLAN so that the gateway can trunk WAN traffic as shown in the image.

  @Hank21 Thank you for the response. My experience is that the controller will not allow a virtual WAN VLAN ID that coincides with a defined VLAN, making this configuration impossible, hence the feature request / recommendation.

You can achieve exactly what you want, but its both untidy and in a different way, better

 

If you are using a seperate Omada switch for your WAN trunking and tagging management, you can adopt it to a new site - this will allow you to set up switch only vlans in whatever combination you want, and because the gateway isnt on this site, you can use those vlan tags on the gateway on the main site on virtual WAN

 

The switch can still have a management IP on the main site as well, you jsut need to manage your vlan configs properly.  Keep the default vlan on the new site and edit it to the same IP range as the management vlan on the main site, so when the switch is adopted, it stays on the right IP and the controller can still speak to it.

 

In a way, this is untidy - as you have a whole site just for a switch doing nothing but trunking - but - it also means you dont have multiple extra WAN vlans on the main site to deal with
