AC87U to AX58U(AX3000) Script Questions

[WifiGhost]

With the great help of the people on this forum, I got custom scripts built to setup VLANs and assign them to specific ports and WiFi networks. The scripts use the following commands to complete the tasks:

brctl
nvram
eapd
robocfg
vconfig
ifconfig

What will I need to change if anything to get my bridge, service-event-end, and services-start bash scripts working when I get my AX58U(AX3000)? I am hoping I can drop my 3 bash scripts into the JFFS folder after getting Asus-merlin installed, reboot and all will work, wishful thinking, but I figure I should ask beforehand to make the needed mods so I am ready to start testing when I get my new router.

I know on my 87U I cannot use or assign LAN port 1 due to the hardware so hoping anyone can post about any info like not being able to assign/use certain LAN ports on the AX3000 so I know what to avoid and other quarks they know of when using ASUS Merlin on the AX3000. Thanks for your help in advance, appreciate it!

Can I take the scripts I use now on my 87U and upload them to what will be my new hardware the AX3000 and just have it work? The port 1 issues I mentioned regarding my 87U is I cannot use or do anything with port 1 do to the internal chips and how it was designed. On the AX3000 can I use any of the LAN ports without issue? Please let me know if you need more clarification.

Thanks. I must admit I still do not get it, sorry. What is so specific to LAN port 1 compared to others, and how does it relate to scripting ? this is the part I do not get.

I mentioned the quark I learned about when creating my current scripts which was due to the chips in the 87U you could not assign or use port 1 for anything and to leave it alone, LAN ports 2-4 were open to use/assign so I was wondering if the AX3000 had anything like that quark or any other quarks to know about before I upgrade. My main concern is if I can take my scripts from my 87U and have it work on the AX3000 without making any changes and if not, what changes do I need to make to have my 87U scripts work on the AX3000.

You will have a hard time getting VLAN's to work on any HND router, the necessary tools are undocumented and not user friendly as robocfg is no longer present.

LAN port isolation (port-based VLAN) on ASUS RT-AX88U with Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16

Although there is no more robocfg command on HND platform and Asuswrt-Merlin lacks GUI support on creating VLAN, port-based VLANs (or static VLAN) can still be achieved by separating ethernet interfaces into isolated bridges and applying firewall (ebtables or iptables) rules.

What it says is what I am doing now, I hardly use the Web GUI and do everything over SSH and have 3 scripts that complete the needed tasks for bridges and VLANs as well as VLAN port and wifi network assignments on my 87U with ASUS-Merlin 384.13_10 and everything is working perfectly. So what I am getting per your reply is I will need to figure out how to adjust my scripts to not use robocfg to complete the needed tasks. Thanks to a few people on hear I was able to create the exact scripts I hoped for so I will reach out to people using an AX3000 with Asus-Merlin 384.17_0 - 384.19_0 and see how they are getting that part done. I do not plan to upgrade right away as I found the hardware I would like to upgrade to after some research and asking around so now I want to learn about the AX3000 and be prepared as much as possible for when I run into issues.
