Archer C7 physical LAN ports missing

[subie]

Hello,

I upgraded the TP-Link Archer C7 v2 to the latest Openwrt v23.
https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/tp-link/tp-link_archer_c7_ac1750_v2.0

When I was going to create VLAN, I realized then that the ports are not available.

I downloaded the sysupgrade using the firmware selector and did not add any custom software. Is there something that i need installed?

Thank you

I think your device is using DSA... let's take a look:

Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:

Remember to redact passwords, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:

ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network

Thank you psherman for the guidance

ok... so I was wrong... your device is swconfig (I forgot that it's an ath79 device; that target hasn't migrated to DSA).

You'll find your lan ports (and the wan, too) in LuCI under the Network > Switch section, or here in the config (note that the logical port numbers don't necessarily directly equal the physical port number labeling on the back of the device):

        option vlan '1'
        option ports '2 3 4 5 0t'

config switch_vlan
        option device 'switch0'
        option vlan '2'
        option ports '1 6t'

I've found the ports! Thank you very much!
