robocfg Not Available on Asus GT-AXE11000 (Asuswrt-Merlin 388.8_4)?

[garycnew]

Head-Scratcher... Why is robocfg and vlans not available on the Asus GT-AXE11000 (Asuswrt-Merlin 388.8_4), but is available on Asus RT-AC66U_B1 (384.19)?

Thanks, again.

Completely different architecture.

Completely different architecture.

I see. So... Asus GT-AXE11000 uses Broadcom, which appears to be manageable using brctl, ethctl, ethswctl, and vlanctl?

 

[ColinTaylor]

All Merlin supported routers are/were Broadcom models, but all models since the RT-AC86U are based on the HND architecture.

So yes, the WAN and LAN ports appear as individual network interfaces now.

@ColinTaylor

In short... VLANs don't exist and are not configurable on Asus HND Routers?

Thanks, again.

You'd have to use traditional Linux commands like ip link instead. There are various posts/examples about it in the forum but I've not really followed them myself. Here's one such post.
