Bridge works with physical devices, but not fully with interfaces

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi all,

I've got a bridge configured with three VLANs (1, 2 and 100), configured as below:

interfaces
interfaces1757×851 51.4 KB

I've then got an interface attached to the device exposed by the 'local' flag on one of the VLANs (bridge.100).

Somewhere on this network is a DHCP server which is verified to be working. Devices plugged into physical ports will receive the expected IP addresses, which implies the bridge is working. The internal interface (attached to bridge.100) though, will not receive an IP address. Whenever I assign a static IP address though, I CAN reach the interface through one of the physical ports, which tells me the interface is attached to the bridge, and communicating. However, when logged into a SSH session I cannot get it to ping any other device on the VLAN, even though the laptop attached to the router is able to reach those devices, through the same bridge.

The same goes for the other internal interfaces attached to the bridge.

To summarize:

  • bridge works, physical untagged and tagged ports can communicate
  • internal interface attached to a VLAN on the bridge doesn't receive a DHCP assignment
  • internal interface is reachable when assigned a static address, but isn't able to reach other devices on the network

I'm hoping to get some advice on how to solve this issue.
