Edmund Lam Posted January 31 Posted January 31 I ssh-ed in the kernel only reports re0 (LAN). No wifi devices reported by dmesg. I want EISY to access my Wifi IOT LAN which is on its own subnet.
Solution Javi Posted January 31 Solution Posted January 31 Wifi is not available while ethernet is connected. Set Wifi credentials from UD Mobile > Settings Tab > WiFi Configuration.
Edmund Lam Posted January 31 Author Posted January 31 If I enable the Wifi by unhooking the RJ45, will both interfaces be seen by the kernel on subsequent boot? ifconfig should see 3 lans, lo0 (local), re0 (RJ45) and whatever the Wifi.
Javi Posted January 31 Posted January 31 I don't believe so, eisy only has interfaces re0 and wlan0. While I'm not a network architect, I think you need a VLAN switch, or device that can act like a switch, before connection to eisy.
Edmund Lam Posted February 8 Author Posted February 8 I stuck a TPLink TL-WN821N USB to Wifi adapter on the EISY. It sees it as wlan0. Why can't we see the onboard Wifi wlan0 ? EISY has both RJ45 and Wifi.
Techman Posted February 8 Posted February 8 With the EISY it's either LAN or onboard WiFi, it doesn't support both protocols at the same time. 1
Michel Kohanim Posted February 13 Posted February 13 @Edmund Lam, What exactly is your use case? The way eisy works is this: If you have not setup WiFi, then always Ethernet. If you setup WiFi, then eisy will use WiFi as long as Ethernet cable is not connected. If you add your own WiFi dongle, then you are on your own because it has never been tested. The reason we don't use wlan0 is because we are using a Wifi 6 driver in a VM. With your dongle, you will NOT get WiFi 6. With kind regards, Michel
Edmund Lam Posted February 17 Author Posted February 17 I want EISY to see my IOT vlan (wifi) and also be on my main lan (wired).
Michel Kohanim Posted February 18 Posted February 18 @Edmund Lam, Unfortunately, it does not work this say, neither do I understand the having a vlan if it can be accessed from another vlan. What's the point? With kind regards, Michel

Couldn't that just be accomplished by poking a firewall hole? I do understand wanting to have PG3x on an IoT VLAN in order for some functionality to work at all because of broadcast domain issues, though I solved that by using my old Polisy as a PG3x head-end in that VLAN, and an above mentioned firewall hole, but you can already slice up the internal NIC to two virtual NICs, so doing VLAN magic seems pretty trivial after that.
