Pirelli DRG A226M, SWITCH prolem. HELP!

jinglei207 · November 26, 2019, 4:41pm

There's no switch function when i installed the firmware.

So, i edited the /etc/config/network as https://openwrt.org/toh/pirelli/drg_a226m suggested.
Now the switch section appeared but got a error message.

Anyone knows what should i change?

That wiki page looks wrong.

First off VLAN 0 is not a valid number, VLAN numbers start at 1.

Use swconfig list to get the name of your switch. In almost all cases it is "switch0". Use that in the switch sections.

swconfig dev switch0 help shows the maximum VLAN number, likely 16 on this old chip.

Connect to the router by wifi while tinkering with the switch so you don't block yourself out.

It looks a bit outdated to me.
Try these commands first to identify the switch:

ls -l /sys/class/net
swconfig list
swconfig dev switch0 show

I am almost certain that "option nat 1" in lan interface is not used there.

What are you trying to do?
Right now VLAN functionality is not enabled in the switch.
The first bit should be

config switch
    option name 'switch0'
    option enable_vlan '1'
    option reset '1'

jinglei207 · November 26, 2019, 9:06pm

I wanna set the lan ports 1 2 3 as lan and port 4 as wan.

mk24 · November 26, 2019, 9:22pm

What is your config file now? Things you need to change are use 'switch0' for the device and use 1 and 2 for the VLANs instead of 0 and 1.

jinglei207 · November 26, 2019, 9:27pm

these are the default settings.
I don't know much about routers...
lan ports 1 2 3 as lan and port 4 as wan, thanks.

I don't know that model but you need to map out what the ports on the back are actually connected to.

are there really two usable CPU Ethernet ports? You can use ip link show and look for the LOWER_UP (as opposed to NO-CARRIER) attribute to see if a cable (or switch chip) is connected to a port.
Are the 4 RJ-45 ports on the back just ports on the switch? Again connect a live Ethernet cable to one port at a time and check the switch status with swconfig show to see which one comes up. It looks fairly certain that switch port 5 is one of the CPU ports, it would be eth1 if you've been running LAN on it.

jinglei207 · November 26, 2019, 9:54pm

there is only one Ethernet which includes 4 lan ports.
I think that the eth0 is that "TELEFONO" with 2 ports
This is the output when my pc is connected to the 1st lan port

Hi! Did you were able to correct the error?

many thanks!

jinglei207 · July 6, 2020, 12:16pm

Actually i did.

pirelli, a226m)
	ucidef_add_switch "switch0" \
		"0:lan" "1:lan" "2:lan" "3:wan" "5t@eth1"
	;;

add this settings to /etc/board.d/02_network
then run

rm /etc/board.json
reboot

You may need to remove the brand name “pirelli” depending on the version of firmware.

Andrex_b · July 7, 2020, 9:05am

Grazie millle!
At end, after some attemps, I have been able to correct the error. The board name of my device is infact a226m-fwb I copied the settings you suggested me at the begin of 02_network file and in this way it was possible to change the board.json file.

Thank you again!
