I have an archer c7 v2 and installed the newest release on it via Luci.
My goal is to mirror the settings I have on my other archer c7 that is running a very old lede version.
I have a somewhat complicated setup. I have a pfsense box that is my dhcp server and firewall. I run multiple vlans. Every device goes through a managed Cisco switch. The to the pfsense box.
I have an admin vlan that connects all my old archer c7, the new one, the switch and the pfsense box.
I have made all the necessary configs on the new device so that it can get an ip address via pfsense. I can ping that address with no issues. But I cannot ssh on port 22 nor can I connect to Luci via that ip address.
I have disabled the firewall in the new device, and dnsmasq. The uhttpd service is set to listen on both 80 and 443 and accepts connections on any address. The same with ssh connections on port 22.
There are no pfsense firewall settings on the admin lan blocking the connection.
I hope that you configured from scratch obeying the latest syntax and that you didn't just restore a backup or otherwise directly move config files or segments from the old device to the new one.
We should start by reviewing your configurations... since you are unable to get into the device right now, that becomes a bit more difficult. But there is a way to do this.
Boot into failsafe mode, then mount root, and then grab the config files for review.
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 didn't copy any config. Just configured some initial ones like the vlan info and added the admin interface. Disabled the firewall and dsnmasq.
I am able to plug directly into the router and access Luci with via the default address 192.168.1.1
I just cannot access it once I put it on the lan. I can only ping it. Pfsense shows port 443 and 22 are open. But I can't open lucí via https nor http. Cannot connect via ssh in port 22 with putty.
I have 10 vlans on the pfsense box. I only use 3 of them at the moment. The others are not used and are disabled.
VLAN 10 is ADMIN: for administrative stuff.
VLAN 30 is USER: For user access via wireless or plugging into ethernet jacks in house
VLAN 80 is IOT : For IOT devices; smart plugs, cameras...
VLAN10 is 10.0.0.0/24
VLAN30 is 10.0.3.0/24
VLAN80 is 10.0.8.0/24
On the Admin VLAN connected devices are the pfsense box, a cisco managed switch and the original Archer c7 v2 (which serves wifi for VLAN80 and VLAN30)
I new archer c7 is connected to the cisco switch on port 7, which has been tagged on vlan10. Thus I am able to get an IP address on that vlan. IP address is 10.0.0.80 which is set as static in the pfsense box. I have a laptop which is connected to the Admin Lan that allows me to configure the Admin devices. From this laptop, I can ping the new Archer C7. But cannot connect to luci via https nor http. Nor can I ssh into the device.

ok...
so there are quite a few issues with the config, let's see if we can straighten them out.
I think that your wan port is mapped to logical port 1 and that the cpu connections eth0 and eth1 correspond to logical port 6 and logical port 0, respectively.
now, the admin network interface needs to be edited... it should look like this (the address comes from DHCP, so get rid of it):
config interface 'Admin'
option proto 'dhcp'
option device 'eth1.10'
Delete this:
And then delete this (it's not necessary):
Assign the admin network to the lan zone
config zone
option name lan
list network 'lan'
list network 'Admin'
option input ACCEPT
option output ACCEPT
option forward ACCEPT
Enable the firewall -- there is no reason to disable it.
Then restart your router, connect to the pfsense box via ethernet to the WAN port of the C7 and test again.
There's still more cleanup to do, but this should get things started. Let me know if that works and post the latest config files (network and firewall).
With the help above, I was able to get back into the router.
I am now attempting to re-create my configuration from the older archer c7 that is running 17.01.
The configuration seems a bit different with the devices tab under interfaces, and I am not finding any documentation on how to configure that. My end goal is to have one archer c7 on one side of the house and another archer c7 on the upper floor. I would be extending the wifi with fast roaming. I have been following onemarcfifty and his tutorials, but they are not up to date with the new version and I do not believe my device supports DSA.
I have added the remaining VLANS that I need to have configured.
