Hi,
I got a Checkpoint L-50 and ready to flash openwrt on the device but a bit of confusion in relation to mac address -
I am following the guide here in forum. managed to do the original fimware backup and get the exisiting mac address.
The original mac address as on the device with original checkpoint fimware are as follows -
eth0 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:8E WAN
eth1 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:8F LAN 1
eth2 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:97 DMZ
eth3 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:90
eth4 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:91
eth5 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:92
eth6 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:93
eth7 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:94
eth8 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:95
eth9 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:96
I am flashing openwrt on checkpoint L50, I am flooiwng the process, after booting into openwrt I cannot get an ip address to my PC.
The erro is as follows -
lan1 : failed to open master eth1
br-lan: port 1 lan1 entered blocking state
device lan1 entered promiscuos mode
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:
I can't connect using ssh, current;y openwrt is running in the memory, I am yet to do the last part "sysupgrade"

I cannot reboot as the system is residing in RAM, I will restart network. I hope this works.
As I said, I am in the middle of flashing the firmware and so not done the sysupgrade command
Also, I am doing the following is this correct or not
setenv eth0addr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:8E
setenv eth1addr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:8F
setenv lan1_mac_addr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:8F
setenv lan2_mac_addr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:90
setenv lan3_mac_addr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:91
setenv lan4_mac_addr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:92
setenv lan5_mac_addr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:93
setenv lan6_mac_addr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:94
setenv lan7_mac_addr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:95
setenv lan8_mac_addr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:96
setenv eth2addr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:97`
I collected all mac adddress from the router when it was running the original Checkpoint firmware. I would prefer to leave DMZ mac seperate from the LAN.
It has been a while since I converted a L50 to OpenWrt but if you have completed step four from the instructions below you have written the new bootloader to flash. When you reboot you should be able to interrupt the new uboot during the first few seconds and continue from there.
I did follow the instructions as they are. The system boots, i don't get any ipaddress allocated to the client pc. BUT from the openwrt command prompt I can access the internet. Basically WAN works.
Here is the output of the error message.
9.654352] kmodloader: done loading kernel modules from /etc/modules.d/*
[ 24.888694] mv88e6085 f1072004.mdio-bus-mii:10 lan1: failed to open master eth1
[ 24.913635] br-lan: port 1(lan1) entered blocking state
[ 24.918922] br-lan: port 1(lan1) entered disabled state```
The environment setting is as follows -
I figured out the issue, it is related to the config file in openwrt firmware. I have a temp fix, but I want to know how to fix the issue permaneantely. I believe this can only be done by a system developer becaue the config file with error will be restored if system is restored to factory default.
