==Step 2: Configure VLANs==

When <b>WAN</b> is set up and running, now it’s time to configure VLAN’s. VLAN configuration can be found by navigating to “Network→VLAN”. You should see a page like in the picture below.

A new row should appear in the “VLANS ON SWITCH0” section.

Now change the VLAN ID to your ISP VLAN ID on which IPTV is working. In our case we will use ID number 6. On different ISP VLAN ID’s may differ. Change WAN from “off” to “tagged” and your desired lan port to “untagged”. The IPTV should be connected to that port.  The “untagged” port can be only one in the column. Your VLAN’s configuration should look something like in the picture below.  

<li>Now lets configure the new added VLAN:

            <li>Change the ID of VLAN to your ISP VLAN ID on which IPTV is working</li>

            <li>Change your desired LAN port to "untagged"</li>

            <li>Change WAN port to "tagged"</li>

After changing the values press the "'''SAVE & APPLY'''" button for our configuration to take effect.

VLAN configuration is now done. If you need a more detailed explanation about VLANs, you can find it [[RUTX10_VLAN|here]].

==Step 3: Configure LAN==

==Step 3: Configure LAN==

After configuring VLAN, the desired port does not have an IP address because now that port is using a new interface which has no configuration yet. You can configure the interface through LAN configuration page. The <b>LAN</b> configuration page can be found by navigating to “Network→LAN”. You should see a page like in the picture below.

In the “ADD LAN INTERFACE” section in the “NAME” field enter your desired name for the LAN interface. In the “INTERFACE” field select your new interface. In our case it looks like in the picture below.

 

            <li>Write your desired name for the interface in the "<b>NAME</b>" field</li>

[[File:rutx_lan_interface_selection_v1.jpg|border|class=tlt-border]]

            <li>Select the new created interface from the interface list. It should be named like this '''eth0.<VLAN_ID>'''</li>

 

We can see that a VLAN interface has appeared. In your case the name of the interface can or will differ. You should select the VLAN interface with the number of the VLAN ID which will be used for IPTV.

        </ol>[[File:rutx_add_lan_interface_v1.jpg|border|class=tlt-border]]

When the name and the interface is set, press the “ADD” button. After that you should be redirected to the LAN configuration page which looks like this.

<li>You will be redirected to <b>LAN</b> configuration page:

 

In the “Protocol” field select “Static address” and press the “SWITCH PROTOCOL” button.

The page will change. In the “IPv4 address” field type in your desired IP address and in the “IPv4 netmask” field select your desired netmask. In the “DHCP SERVER” section enable your DHCP client by changing value of the “Enable DHCP” value to “Enable”. Now press the “SAVE & APPLY” button that is the bottom of the page.  

        </ol>[[File:rutx_switch_lan_protocol_v1.jpg|border|class=tlt-border]]

Your LAN page now should look something like in the picture below.

<li>After changing the protocol a more detailed configuration page should appear:

            <li>Change the IP address of your interface into your desired one</li>

            <li>Select the necessary netmask for your subnet</li>

            <li>Enable DHCP server</li>

After changing the values press the "'''SAVE & APPLY'''" button for our configuration to take effect.

After saving the configuration, you should be redirected to main <b>LAN</b> page.

When WAN, VLAN and LAN configuration is done, it’s time to connect your STB to the router. Don’t forget, you need to connect your STB to that port that was selected in the VLAN section. If you did everything as it was written, by this time you should have been started enjoying your IPTV. Good watching.

It is easy to change the router provided by your ISP to a router from RUTX series. You only need to know the VLAN ID, which is usually specified on ISP website.
