How to Setup Adopisoft Network Configuration

 

How to Setup Adopisoft Network Configuration

In this setup, you will learn how to configure the adopisoft network to work the built-in wifi, VLAN, and USB2LAN at the same time. First of all, you need to know their name:

 

eth0 is the BOARD Ethernet WAN port. This is where your internet is going in.

wlan0 is your built-in wifi

eth1 is your first connected usb2lan, next is eth2 is the 2nd,eth3 is the 3rd,eth4, the fourth one.

eth0.22 is your vlan22. 22 is the adopisoft default VLAN. You can use any VLAN number as long as it is both configured as the same number in the ado admin dashboard and to your VLAN hardware.

 

Every interface has its own gateway separated from its other.

Example:

                eth0(WAN)         192.168.1.2

                                             Network Prefix: /24

                                             Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (Your PLDT modem IP)

               wlan0(Built-in)  12.0.0.1 

                                             Check Enable Captive Portal
                                             Set Maximum Hops Allowed to 1
                                             Static IP:12.0.0.1

                                             Network Prefix: /20

                                             Check Use System DNS Server

         Check enable DHCP on this Interface

                                                    DHCP start:12.0.0.10

                                                    DHCP End:12.0.15.254

                eth1(USB2LAN 1) 20.0.0.1

                                             Check Enable Captive Portal

                                             Set Maximum Hops Allowed to 1

                                             Static IP:20.0.0.1

                                             Network Prefix: /20

                                             Check Use System DNS Server

                                                DHCP start:20.0.0.10

                                                DHCP End:20.0.15.254

                eth0.22(VLAN22)22.0.0.1-Go to Network then Interface then 802.1Q then create VLAN        using VLANID22. You can use any VLAN number but 22 is the default. Make sure the VLAN number in adopisoft vs VLAN id number in your hardware are the same.

                                             Check Enable Captive Portal

                                             Set Maximum Hops Allowed to 1

                                             Static IP: 22.0.0.1

                                             Network Prefix: /20

                                             Check Use System DNS Server

                                             Check enable DHCP on this Interface

                                                    DHCP start:22.0.0.10

                                                    DHCP End:22.0.15.254

               

 

 

You can use whatever number you want. With this setup, every interface has its own IP separated from each other. You will automatically see what interface you are connected via the IP assigned to you by the interface gateway.

 

Why does the DHCP address start with 10? Because the IP x.0.0.2 to x.0.0.9 where X will determine what interface you are connected to, is your reserved IP if you want your AP to be static. The reserved IP can be used by your Access Point in static AP mode. This will ensure that the IP cannot be used by your system to assign it to one of your clients.

 

Having a different interface will have different Portal IP when connected to its Access Point or routers AP. Ex with the IP assignment above, if you are connected to USB2LAN, your portal IP would be 20.0.0.1. If you are connected to the built-in, your portal IP would be 12.0.0.1, and so on.

The disadvantage of having different portal IP for every interface:
This will get you disconnected from the internet if you switch AP connection and needed to reconnect to the portal or at least open the portal manually to allow the internet again into your phone. What if all your SSID from all your interface are the same? You will likely get disconnected from the internet if your phone disconnects from one interface to another interface with different portal IP. You need to at least reopen the browsers portal to gain internet access again.

 

With this problem, INTERFACE BRIDGING is introduced. With interface bridging, the IP on all the bridge member interfaces are all the same. Their individual gateway will be ignored. Each accommodated interface connected to a physical segment is handled as one segment.

 br0(Bridge)         10.0.0.1

                                                   Check Enable Captive Portal

                                                    Set Maximum Hops Allowed to 1

                                                     Set static IP to 10.0.0.1

                                                    Check the required interface to bridge

                                                


                                             Network Prefix: /20

                                             Check Use System DNS Server

                                             Check enable DHCP on this Interface

                                                    DHCP start:10.0.0.10

                                                    DHCP End:10.0.15.254

 

Before Bridging:




 

After Bridging:


Bonus: Maximum Hops Allowed must be set to 1 to prevent phone tethering on all your interface.
