   * Internal VLAN table of the AR8229 has only 16 entries, this means, from the OpenWrt point of view, that the VLAN numbers you can use in your configurations is limited to 0 to 15. Using any VLAN number greater than 15 will simply be ignored.   * Internal VLAN table of the AR8229 has only 16 entries, this means, from the OpenWrt point of view, that the VLAN numbers you can use in your configurations is limited to 0 to 15.

   * Still, VID number for a given VLAN number entry can be set in the normal range from 0 to 4095, as usual.   * Still, VID number for a given VLAN number entry can be set in the normal range from 0 to 4095, as usual.
-  * The other big limitation, for a given physical port on the AR 8229 switch, is that you cannot mix tagged VLANs with an untagged VLAN. If you mix them, the corresponding physical port configuration will simply be ignored and the port will not be configured.+  * The other big limitation, **for a given physical port** on the AR8229 switch, is that **you cannot mix tagged VLANs with an untagged VLAN**.

 You must use these informations carefully when creating your ''swconfig'' configuration in the ''/etc/config/network'' file to configure the switch and all your VLANs. This means that for each VLAN configured, you must always use ''option vlan 'x''' and ''option vid 'y''', **but don't use** the simpler syntax using only ''option vlan 'x''' with no line defining the VID, having the VID being equal automatically to the VLAN number. This last mode of configuration is to be avoided because as VLAN numbers cannot be greater than 15, it means you cannot configure VLANs with VID greater than 15 with this method. You must use these informations carefully when creating your ''swconfig'' configuration in the ''/etc/config/network'' file to configure the switch and all your VLANs.
