How to configure Single Interface and Multiple Interface in Adopisoft Pisowifi System

 Single interface setup


Multiple interface Setup.
It could be multiple VLAN, multiple USB TO LAN. or multiple LAN port kung maraming builtin-in ethernet port ang ubuntu PC/Mini PC mo and last is combination of VLAN and USB TO LAN.

1. Multiple USB TO LAN

                                         This connection uses 2 USB TO LAN. The eth1 is configured as 10.0.0.1 and the other is 20.0.0.1

Here is the admin configuration:


Go to network then interface then eth1                          Go to network then eth2

    check enable captive portal                                           check enable captive portal 

    set maximum hops allowed to 1                                    set maximum hops allowed to 1

    uncheck dynamic ip address                                         uncheck dynamic ip address

    set static to 10.0.0.1                                                      set static to 20.0.0.1

    set network segment to 20                                            set network segment to 20

    check Use System DNS Server                                    check Use System DNS Server

    Check Enable DHCP Server on this Interface              Check Enable DHCP Server on this Interface

    DHCP Pool Start 10.0.0.10                                           DHCP Pool Start 20.0.0.10

    DHCP Pool End:10.0.15.254                                        DHCP Pool End:20.0.15.254


2. Multiple VLAN only

Here is admin configuration:

    Set Network Prefix to 20                                                            Set Network Prefix to 20

    Check Use System DNS Server                                                Check Use System DNS Server

    Check Enable DHCP Server on this Interface                           Check Enable DHCP Server on this Interface

    Set DHCP Pool Start 22.0.0.10                                                 Set DHCP Pool Start 23.0.0.10

    Set DHCP Pool End to 22.0.15.254                                          Set DHCP Pool End to 23.0.15.254

    Click create VLAN                                                                     Click create VLAN

Go to Network then VLAN Setup                                        Go to Network then VLAN Setup
    then eth0.24:                                                                             then eth0.25          

    Click create VLAN                                                                      Click create VLAN

    Check Enable Captive Portal                                                     Check Enable Captive Portal

    Set Maximum Hops Allowed to 1                                               Set Maximum Hops Allowed to 1

    Set Parent interface to eth0                                                       Set Parent interface to eth0

    Set VLAN ID/Tag to 24                                                               Set VLAN ID/Tag to 25

    Click create VLAN                                                                     Click create VLAN

3. Combination of VLAN and USB TO LAN







4. VLAN directly to AP - No VLAN capable switch/managed switch or no VLAN capable Router

You can still use VLAN if you dont have a VLAN capable router or a VLAN capable switch but have a VLAN capable AP such as TL-EAP110 and TL-EAP225. Remember VLAN on AP's portal must be enabled.



You can also use switch when using VLAN capable AP. But all AP must have VLAN capable or else connecting Access Point(AP) via AP mode on switch will give then free internet because they will be connected directly to ISP.


Bridges (br0,br1,br2...)
Combining2 or more interface into single network and shares single IP subnet.The purpose is to have same portal IP throughout different interfaces. Their individual IP is discarded and uses the subnet of the bridge interface.This may also be used when grouping different network into single network found on the same location base on their purpose and use.
Below is sample of a bridge network where vlan22(eth0.22) and wlan0(Builtin wifi) are bridge together via 10.0.0.1/20 network.

Common misconception:
Wag ka nang mag create ng bridge kung isa lang naman ang member ng bridge.Additional process lang po yan sa system. Mag bridge ka lang kung ang purpose mo is pagsamahin ang 2 or more interface na member sa bridge para iisang IP lang sila. Example sa madalas na bini bridge ay ang builtin wifi na  i-bridge mo sa isa sa mga existing vlan mo para iisang IP network segment/portal sila.
