Still trying to setup LAGG on AC87U - help very much appreciated!

[northwinds]

I'm still trying to figure this out and would realy aooreciate some help/feedback
So far...

After a LOT of reading up from various places I found this diagram:

which started me trying to understand the architecture of my overly complex ac87u, or so I thought...

Anyway armed with this I tried making some changes to your initial steps:

nvram set vlan1ports="1 5 7*”

nvram set vlan2ports="0 7u"

nvram set vlan3ports=“2 7t"

nvram set vlan4ports=“3 7t"

nvram set port5vlans="1 2 3 5 16"

nvram set port0vlans="2"

nvram set port1vlans="1"

nvram set port2vlans=“3”

nvram set port3vlans=“4”

nvram set port4vlans=“1”

nvram set vlan1hwname=et1

nvram set vlan2hwname=et1

nvram set vlan3hwname=et1

nvram set vlan4hwname=et1

nvram commit

My thinking here was to avoid ports 1 and 4 as I'd read a lot of people having problems trying to do anything out of the ordinary with them.
Therefore I attached my Nas4Free to physical lan ports 2 & 3.
I thought the results were promising at this point:

although the vlan associations fo Lan2 and 3 weren't as I expected they both seemed to be connected to my Mas4Free, so.....

I soldiered on following what I thought were appropriate versions of your next steps to see what happened.

Unfortunately the result was not great:
(please see follow up next post as only able to attach 2 files each)

The result being this:

Therefore I've scp copied the firewall-start and services-start scripts off the jffs partition for safe keeping before deleting them and now I'm back to the previous set up, as I reckon the problem with the vlans needs fixing first.

Could you please offer me any advice as to where I've gone wrong here?

Many thanks!

Is nobody willing to give me advice on this?

Ok, so the bit that confuses me in my first post is this:

nvram set port2vlans=“3”

nvram set port3vlans=“4”

as you can see from the gui snapshot LAN2 (port3) is indeed now vlan4 but for some reason LAN3 (port2) is still vlan1 and not vlan3 as I had intended???

Any ideas why this should be and how do I fix it?

 

[northwinds]

Just ran:
"nvram show | grep port.*vlans" in terminal and got this:

"size: 44016 bytes (21520 left)

port5vlans=1 2 3 5 16

port3vlans=4

port1vlans=1

port4vlans=1

port2vlans=3

port0vlans=2"

which seems to conflict with what the gui is saying in the images above?

Everything seems to agree except for port2 which the gui still thinks is vlan2

Reckon I need to solve this discrepancy before going any further.

Any suggestions?
