I am trying to setup a vlan between 2 embedded Linux SOCs on wireless IPTV STB (set top box) using vconfig. The physical connection between the SOCs is a Marvell 88E60xx switch. The issue is that the vlan needs to be private. If there is more than 1 IPTV STB, an RPC (remote procedure call) gets a response from the wrong STB and the static IP addresses I use are duplicated on the network. I see this on Wireshark.
Duplicate IP address detected for 1.1.1.1 (28:c8:7a:b5:ad:50) - also in use by 28:c8:7a:b5:ad:10 (frame 171)
I suspect I am missing 1 or 2 configuration steps but this is my 1st attempt at setting up a vlan. This is how I configure the vlan on the SOC that controls the WiFi
vconfig add br0 12
ip link set br0.12 up
ifconfig br0.12 1.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.248
This is how I configure the vlan on the SOC that controls the IPTV
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 multicast up
vconfig add eth0 0
ifconfig eth0.0 0.0.0.0 multicast up
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth0.0
brctl addbr br6
brctl stp br6 0 # spanning tree protocol off
brctl setfd br6 0 # set bridge forward delay to 0 seconds
vconfig add eth0 12
ifconfig eth0.12 0.0.0.0 multicast up
brctl addif br6 eth0.12
ifconfig br6 1.1.1.1 up
This is the ifconfig on the SOC that controls the WiFi
