[18:30] alkisg, I'm asking cause it seems for me on debian 11.5 it's not willing to work :( [18:46] lolek_: no I'm not using it my switches support vlan per port [18:47] alkisg, yes mine to but I need to have two vlans over one nic [18:47] hence I need to handle this on the box not on the switch [18:47] I only need that for the servers not the clients [18:48] well the box I'm using is a server.. file server but need to be visible in two vlans [18:49] so I prefer to have it two address from two different vlans over one NIC [18:49] then I can expose required services on the needed network [18:49] In my servers networking is brought up after the initramfs, so I'm using network manager [18:51] no go I need it earlier because of encryption [18:52] Yeh I get it [18:52] if the server has 2 NICs, you could still set up 2 VLANs on the switch, of course... === jgee118692 is now known as jgee11869 [18:54] (if you can't get the software solution to work...) [18:54] JanC, only one nic... it's for home use so second nic would increase power consumption [18:55] right now I got down up to 9W when idle with 1 ssd [18:55] right [18:56] JanC, yeah that's an option of a last resort, right now the system already handle that the only problem is the initramfs and dropbear [18:56] home switch probably has less ports available also :) [18:57] JanC, I've got 16 port switch, had to upgrade since the old one was not enough already :D [18:57] more ports = more power consumption for switches too :) [18:57] JanC, yes but there's only 8 or 16 [18:58] nothing in between and when ports are not used, they're shut off so it's not like always 100% energy [18:58] the processors in those switches have to be capable to handle all the traffic when all are in use though [18:59] OTOH, maybe those home switches aren't designed to run all ports at full speed all the time :) [19:01] JanC, previous switch max power usage was 3.3 it was dump 8 port switch, now I've got managed switch 16 port and according to the spec sheet it's 10W I understand that it's when all ports are in use [19:01] but yeah... not much I can do with that I need 11 ports so [19:01] and vlans :D [19:02] I need to buy a non-dumb switch for home some day... [19:06] JanC, pick up carefully ... tp-link has better power efficency but lacks some functionality, d-link has that but use more power [19:06] I can also say that I'm quite positively surprised with d-link support [19:07] yeah, it's why I haven't bought one yet; first need to figure out what I want exactly [19:07] JanC, now I need to buy another switch also managed [19:07] JanC, pm? so we won't spam here [19:09] it's not a "soon" project for me probably, and by the time I buy one TP-link might be better than D-link, or there might be another better option still, etc. :) [19:14] Why do you need vlans at the initramfs? You can unlock the encryption with vlan1 = native, and initialize vlan2 later on [19:14] JanC, there was a problem between tp-link and d-link, the first one was missing some functionality I think it was link aggregation [19:14] alkisg, on switch the port is set to trunk so I need tagged packets [19:15] alkisg, if packes won't be tagget switch won't pass it up to the router [19:15] *packets [19:19] ok, need to go, alkisg JanC thanks for the conv [19:20] 👍
