I have successfully booted the machine and rearranged the partitions.
I was then going to proceed to create the recovery partition. I noticed that cannot reach LuCI, nor do I see any traffic on the ports on the device. So, at this time, I am unable to access the device via Ethernet once OpenWRT boots.
It looks like the switch is misconfigured, as packets are being received by eth0 but not transferred to eth0.1 or eth0.2. This means they are reaching the CPU port without a VLAN tag of 1 or 2, or without a VLAN tag at all.
Unplug all Ethernet cables and run swconfig dev switch0 show. The only port that should show connected would be the CPU. And it should be port 0. Then plug in a cable to one port at a time and identify them.
Yes but it's an initramdisk build-- of uncertain configuration.
Do you have iw? Does iw list show an active wifi driver?
Actually, if the switch is running in an 'unmanaged' mode(*), you should just be able to change lan to eth0, and detach wan from eth entirely, and have untagged LAN packets on all the ports.
*which is the power-up default of most switch chips, so someone can build an unmanaged switch by putting the chip in a box with no brains at all.
I was able to flash the MX60 sysupgrade, but NOT MX60W.
All TFTP files appear to have ports tagged as VLAN 2...this means you have open the cover to enter an iptables rule to access LuCI to flash...and a device with more than one port and capable of tagging...I'm exploring further.
