VLAN and SDN index/bridge index number questions - how are they decided?

[i0ntempest]

Hi,
I have a BE88U with merlin 3006.102 and I have created a guest VLAN with DHCP. The system assigned it SDN index 5 (as I have `dnsmasq-5.conf`) and bridge device `br56`. I would like some clarifications on how these numbers are decided so I can write reliable scripts to operate on this interface. The goal is to add a IPv6 GUA /64 prefix to this interface so my guests are served IPv6.

Thanks in advance.

If you look at the code, it just picks the next free number, starting from 1 for index, or 52 for VLAN ID. Search for all the get_new_ functions.

Use the get_mtlan command to see what is already defined on your router.

Thanks - took me some time but I now have IPv6 internet connectivity provided by ip6tables MASQUERADE nat66. I know nAt66 BaD but assigning another /64 in parallel to my main network's /64 just doesn't work despite my ISP giving me a /48. `ip -6 route` gives no default routes if I do that.
Also SNAT didn't work either, I got `unknown option "--to-source"`. I'm guessing SNAT isn't compiled in?
