Hi everybody, I detect a strange behavior with my netgear router (the same with a pirelli with different release).
In my network I have a router with stock firmware connect to internet and to my other router with openwrt.
For this I use a WAN port on vlan 1(in DCHP client).
In LAN port (on vlan 2 with DHCP server) I have connected one pc to test before to extend the configuration for other services.
In this way, it seems works all fine.
But, when I reboot the router with openwrt, the dhcp server doesn't assign any address on lan port. Addresses are assigned from by main router connected on wan port, even though the pc doesn't seem connected ( ping doesn't work).
If I start my second router without the WAN cable, the dhcp server works (after two minutes). Then I can re-plug the wan cable.
I don't know if there is a bug or an error in my configuration. I thought to disable on startup, for some minutes, the wan port.
Can you help me?
Many thanks.

Many thanks, if I unplug and plug again the cable, pc receive the correct ip address from dhcp server (by openwrt router)

Did you modify the switch configuration? I see LAN is assigned to ports 0, 1, and 3, while WAN is on port 2... that is a bit unusual. Can we see the switch config page, please?

No WAN port are present physically. Now I'm testing the connectivity on vlan2 (port 2) and other port on vlan1 (port 1 conneccted to the other router).
I guess that at boot time, the switch chip in the OpenWrt router behaves like an unmanaged switch, allowing communication across all ports. VLAN separation is not applied until the OpenWrt network configuration has been loaded.
The client PC gets its IP configuration directly from the upstream router via DHCP, and ping might even work for a short moment, but it breaks as soon as the VLANs have been set up on the OpenWrt device.
Possible workarounds:
- Disable the DHCP server on the upstream router's LAN interface, and set up a static IP configuration on OpenWrt's WAN interface. This is possible with private IPv4 addresses, or static public IP addresses provided by your ISP, but not useful for dynamic IPv6 addresses.
- Configure the upstream router as a bridged modem, and run the WAN protocol (e.g. PPPoE) on the OpenWrt router. However, this does not help when the WAN protocol is also DHCP.
If you want to discuss this further, please provide details about your ISP uplink, such as protocol and address assignment mechanism.

I think you are right.
Maybe, the fastest workaround, to maintein the current configuration, could be to disable the interface programmaticaly and after tuw minutes re-enable them. Is it possble on custom rules or on start-up configuration?
This is unlikely to solve the problem because it would happen near the point in time where the VLANs are set up, which is too late.
But if I start my router without WAN cable and I reconnect its after two minutes, the pc has the correct ip address.

Could this be the problem?

Have you solved this problem?
Thank you, your idea solved my problem with my ASUS-RT-AC58U. I was unable to get vlan working with br-lan and get the wired clients to receive an DHCP offer during reboot.
One of my switch port was configured as wanb using vlan and other ports as member to br-lan.
I used the below code rc.local to do a phy reset after the switch is up and configured at boot to solve this.
swconfig dev switch0 set linkdown 1
sleep 5
swconfig dev switch0 set linkdown 0
I've had this issue for so long I can't remember. In my case dnsmasq wouldn't run at boot time, don't know why. So getting by with below command to start it again after boot up.
sleep 15; /etc/init.d/dnsmasq start in rc.local.
