Management VLAN over Tinc L2 VPN on RUTX08

[aeburriel]

Hello! I’m trying to replicate a working setup from a dedicated Linux machine onto a RUTX08 router.

We’re using a Tinc VPN in switch mode, carrying multiple VLANs. The VPN connection is established successfully and tagged traffic is visible across the tunnel.

So far:

• I’ve configured a port-based VLAN with ID 10 (untagged) on LAN port 3 “eth0.10”.
• I’ve created a bridged LAN interface (br-lan) bridging “eth0” and the “tinc_VPN” interface.

This setup works well: devices connected to LAN 3 can reach the remote network over VLAN 10.

Now, I’d like to access the RUTX08 itself via the VPN, using VLAN 9.

My first approach was to create a VLAN interface on the “br-lan” bridge with an assigned IP, but I couldn’t figure out how to do this, interface-based VLAN options don’t seem to allow bridge selection.

My second idea was to define a VLAN on the “tinc_VPN” interface and assign an IP address directly to the RUTX08, but again, I can’t figure how to do this.

Has anyone configured something similar or can offer guidance on enabling management access to the router via a specific VLAN over a Tinc layer 2 tunnel?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
