Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
121

Now we're getting somewhere. This seems like maybe a problem reaching your gateway or with ARP, or with return packets from your gateway getting squashed until a firewall related connection is established or something. The fact that it eventually works suggests that until "something" happens the packets don't know where to go, then eventually that thing happens (an ARP reply, a conntrack entry, something etc) then it works.

You could try creating a new OpenWRT "interface" place it in the same firewall zone as your LAN and putting the veth0 as the physical interface.

One sec guys. I might have progress here.

Was reading up here:

And at the bottom of page this guy is talking about MAC adress on the bridge interface.

So i went into luci and to bridge and overrode the MAC address to 00:00:00:00:00:00

Since then, so far so good. No issues.

Strangely i dont see mac address changed in ifconfig on the bridge.

Since it seems to work now so far, and my inbound/outbound data seems to go through the veth0/1 interface, I can carry on and apply SQM and adjust iptables to my preference?

In luce my bridge now looks like this tho:

**Protocol:** Static address
**Uptime:** 0h 10m 33s
**MAC:** 00:00:00:00:00:00
**RX:** 3.20 MB (43874 Pkts.)
**TX:** 3.67 MB (9382 Pkts.)
**IPv4:** 192.168.1.1/24
123

br-lan is using the mac of veth1 in your ifconfig output. I'm not sure what you did, and/or whether it just has to do with maybe forcing the bridge to clear out MAC caches or something, but if it works... The other option would be to generate a random valid mac address and hand that to the bridge:

https://www.hellion.org.uk/cgi-bin/randmac.pl?scope=local&type=unicast

I don't think it makes sense to give all zeros as a mac address, but perhaps that's interpreted in some specific way by the command line?

124

Well, I think I can confirm its working now.

Just to test, I put SQM on Veth0 and I can control WAN ingress limit, and for eth1.2 SQM I can control the WAN egress limit.

Sounds good no? :smiley:

works!

Receiving UDP packets with Experdited forwarding now from the rules i set as well. WHOOP!

125

Good. I think what happened was that adding the veth1 to the bridge changed the bridge mac address and then clients on your LAN weren't aware of it and had problems. If you set a proper static locally administered MAC on your bridge that should solve the problem.

126

Good possibility. Nobody else stumbled on this?

127

It seems like it might depend on randomness and the model of your hardware, whether the veth is chosen as the bridge MAC depends on if it's the smallest or largest MAC or whatever. not everyone would see this issue.

128

Ok, so problem partially solved.

What happens is, i run the script at startup. Works bad.
What I need to do at that point is go to LuCi -> br-lan bridge -> advanced settings -> change MAC address
(Im not even sure if its just the fact that it changes or not that makes it work)

Not sure if i have to redo the following though:
ip route add default dev veth0 table 100
ip rule add iif eth1.2 table 100 priority 100

After this, it just keeps working well.

129

Yeah, something's not right, where do you put the script to set up veth? Post it here please for review. Also /etc/config/network

130

I started of manual, but no difference to putting it in LuCi -> Startup

# Put your custom commands here that should be executed once
# the system init finished. By default this file does nothing.

./root/net.sh

exit 0

Script:

ip link add type veth
ip link set veth0 up
ip link set veth1 up
ip link set veth1 promisc on

iptables -t mangle -F PREROUTING

ip route add default dev veth0 table 100 ## send everything that uses table 100 to veth0
ip rule add iif eth1.2 table 100 priority 100 ## if it comes in wan interface use table 100 for routing

iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p udp -m iprange --src-range 5.135.129.0-5.135.129.255 -j DSCP --set-dscp-class EF
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p udp -m iprange --src-range 198.27.85.0-198.27.85.255 -j DSCP --set-dscp-class EF

I already made the bridge in LuCi to veth1 but manual command makes no difference, so doesn't really matter.

/etc/config/network:


config interface 'loopback'
	option ifname 'lo'
	option proto 'static'

	option vlan '1'
	option ports '0 1 2 3 5t'

config switch_vlan
	option device 'switch0'
	option vlan '2'
	option ports '4 6t'

Note: The 00-00-00-00-00-00 mac is what i have to change in LuCi UI, i pretty much switch it back and forth from this to empty on every reboot, and vice versa.

Sadly the way i need to fix it through constantly changing mac of br-lan is tedious, and apparently i also have to re-enable SQM after this otherwise they wont work either -_-

i think you need to enable STP into /etc/config/network:

config interface 'lan'
	option type 'bridge'
	option proto 'static'
	option ipaddr '192.168.1.1'
	option netmask '255.255.255.0'
	option igmp_snooping '1'
	option stp '1'
	option mtu '1500'
	option ifname 'eth0.1 veth1'

i think it should work without changing mac address!
EDIT:
I tried to disbale stp and igmp, then yeah i have the same as your problem.
what is the output of :
brctl show

133

Interesting, lets see if it works!

root@OpenWrt:~# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
br-lan          7fff.6238e010aecf       yes             eth0.1
                                                        veth1
                                                        wlan1
                                                        wlan0

Rebooted, etc... the issue persists... This is becoming tiresome :frowning:

Ill try again on a snapshot, see if it improves matters.

Hmm
make this changes to your /etc/config/network
instead of:

config switch_vlan
	option device 'switch0'
	option vlan '1'
	option ports '0 1 2 3 5t'

make like this:

config switch_vlan 'eth0_1'
	option device 'switch0'
	option vlan '1'
	option vid '1'
	option ports '0 1 2 3 5t'

instead of
config switch_vlan
option device 'switch0'
option vlan '2'
option ports '4 6t'

make like this:

config switch_vlan 'eth1_2'
option device 'switch0'
option vlan '2'
option vid '2'
option ports '4 6t'

135

Nope. Still same issue. Im back to fresh snapshot too, no change :C

Perhaps try STP/IGMP in globals to apply on all interfaces?

oh,so the only way to get it to work is by change mac address:
what will happen if you add this to luci startup page

sleep 5
/etc/init.d/network restart
sleep 8
./root/net.sh
/etc/init.d/sqm restart
137

try and see

138

My idea didnt work, restarting network and then script , or vice versa, or even back to back doesn't work either. (I think i actually tried fiddling around with restarting network yesterday)

Gotta change MAC then restart script lol.

Mhh. Perhaps I should give FireQOS a go.

139

it will be the same for fireqos!

140

Will it? i thought it used different approach, not Veth?

Mhh what about a startup script that changes br-lan to random mac, then restart interface and rerun script. Ill have to try this then. Then I'd also need a script to restart the SQM instances.
