Support for RTL838x based managed switches

I don't know who maintains the wiki page(s?)... However:

I can confirm DGS-1210-20 H/W: F2; F/W: 6.30.016, fresh out of the box:
d-link_dgs-1210-20-squashfs-factory_image1.bin (Sat Jan 7 17:54:10 2023) works just fine. (Don't know if it matters or if d-link has a filename length limit, so I renamed it to factory_image1.bin just to be sure.)

I followed the instructions from https://openwrt.org/toh/d-link/dgs-1210-16_g1

  1. Make sure you are booting using OEM in image 2 slot. If not, switch to image2 using the menus System > Firmware Information > Boot from image2
    Tools > reboot
  2. Upload image in vendor firmware via
    Tools > Backup / Upgrade Firmware > image1
  3. Toogle startup image via
    System > Firmware Information > Boot from image1
  4. Tools > reboot

PS:
As it was not clear for me which network config is applied or not; I just want to say it load enough:
PLEASE, someone should just add ping ff02::1%ethN to the instructions!

Using IPv6 LLA with ssh is just simple as:

ssh root@<IPv6-LLA>%ethN
