Configure AP55s with 2 SSIDs and 2 VLANs

Hi Matthew and welcome to the UTM Community!

Does VLAN 2 already exist?  Why not simply make this a separate zone?

Many thanks for the reply, Bob.

Yep the VLAN already exists. 

It is a VLAN interface (3.10) attached to a WLAN physical interface (3).

If I create a separate wireless zone will I have to get rid of the existing VLAN?  

Can the AP 55 "see" VLAN 2?  If not, then use "Separate zone" and bridge the resulting virtual NIC, wlan#, to VLAN 2.

Thank you Bob.. will try first thing tomorrow.

I've created wlan# (in its own zone) and it now has a WiFi interface in Protect > Networks but I cannot receive an IP address?

I have 

I'm pretty sure it is because I cannot enable VLAN tagging on wlan# to receive the ip addresses from the XG.

I've noticed exactly the same problem posted in the community 2 years ago.

The trick is to create a br0 with an unused NIC and then move VLAN2 to that NIC.

Thanks Bob,

So, the present config:

NIC 3 (untagged WLAN)

NIC 3.2 (tagged VLAN2)

Move VLAN2 to empty NIC 4

and bridge NIC 4 to ?

Would NIC 4 then present as a 'Bridge to AP LAN' (not a Bridge to VLAN) to the AP55?

Sorry never attempted anything like this before...

I have created a wireless network as a Separate Zone which has also created virtual interface wlnet1.

I have enabled DHCP on wlnet1

But I do not have the option in Network > Add Interface > Add Bridge to bridge wlnet1 to an existing NIC?

Can this not be done?

Many thanks again for any help.

Sorry, Matthew, I just saw that you're working with XG and I'm not an expert with it, nor are few people here.  This is the UTM Community, so you'll want to post your question in the XG Community.
