I think the bridge is a separate issue. Based on what you posted, it looks like the bridge is working. But just to make sure, could you run

brctl show

That should list the interfaces attached to each bridge port.

In order to get forwarding to properly work in a bridge, you need to enable lan<->lan forwarding in your firewall configuration.

From what you posted, others are trying to ping the router, but the packets are coming in untagged.  The openwrt system did manage to send just one packet (possibly an ARP packet which might ignore vlans).

Here is a simple shell command to print the status of all the ports and some of the vlans.

swconfig dev eth1 vlan $v get enable_vlan
swconfig dev eth1 vlan $v get name
for v in 0 1 2 3; do swconfig dev eth1 vlan $v get ports; done
for p in 0 1 7 8; do swconfig dev eth1 port $p get status; swconfig dev eth1 port $p get tagged; done

The output will read the status from the switch, so this should tell us if something is being configured wrong. I don't own any device with a IP178C so I was just going off the spec sheet, and there is a chance that I made a mistake somewhere. It is possible that the tagged bit for the CPU is not being set correctly, so everything is coming in untagged.

Have you tried doing a ping from openwrt to someone else attached to the switch? Or an arping?

This is just a random guess, but another thing to try is this:

swconfig dev eth1 port 4 set tagged 2

The bit for removing vlan tags on port 4 is the same as adding tags for the cpu port 8, so there's a chance that is mixed up.

Yes, I can ping from the kamikaze command line out the wan port (eth0) and it will respond to outside pings, but the switch ports will neither send or receive pings--through the router or port to port.

To start with, your configuration is such that all the interfaces are bridged together.  This has nothing to do with VLANs. If you intend to do this, I think you may need to read up on STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) which is how bridges work across different switches.

Just to make it clear, I highly recommend not bridging eth0 and eth1 together, just to gain one additional port. The performance is so poor that you are better off buying an additional 4 or 8-port switch than using a software bridge. I merely suggested that as an example, but if you do this, you'll still be stuck with the whole 20Mbps limit going between them due to the ag71xx driver performance.

Can you please explain exactly what you intend to do with your RB492 (and what you are putting in your /etc/config/network).

Patrick,

Thanks again for all the hand holding. This router and networking thing is just a hobby for me and I obviously still have a lot to learn. I removed the 'eth0 eth1' bridge and set up the network file as you suggested several posts back. Everything is now working as it should using this network file:

config switch eth1
option reset 1
option enable_vlan 1

config switch_vlan
option device eth1
option vlan 1
option ports "0 1 2 3 4 5 8t"

config switch_vlan
option device eth1
option vlan 2
option ports "6 7 8t"

config interface lan
option ifname "eth1.1"
option proto static
option type bridge
option ipaddr 192.168.2.1
option netmask 255.255.255.0

config interface lan2
option ifname "eth1.2"
option proto static
option ipaddr 192.168.3.1
option netmask 255.255.255.0

config interface wan
option ifname "eth0"
option proto static
option ipaddr 192.168.1.7
option netmask 255.255.255.0
option gateway 192.168.1.1
option dns 208.67.222.222

To recap what was done to get the RB493AH working:

Fresh svn checkout
Placed your patch http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~pathorn/ … 175c.patch in the top kamikaze directory
implemented the patch with this command: patch -p0 < ar71xx-ip175c.patch
Selected "Target Profile/AR7xx" and "Base system/swconfig" in "make menuconfig"
Compiled Kamikaze
Edited the /etc/config/network file as shown above.
Edited the /etc/config/firewall.

Thanks Patrick for all the work on the IP175 and 178 swtich driver and getting it running on the RB4xx routers.

Rob

Could you please open a ticket for the switch support patches? Since Patrick's previous work is already integrated into trunk, it would be good to have the latest fixes there too smile

What a pisser. After "svn up"'ing a few times the IPC 178 switch driver is no longer working. The dmesg lists "driver=Generic PHY" I verifed 2.6.28.10 is being compiled (uname -a) and all of Patrick's edits are in the three files that are patched.

"swconfig dev eth1 help" gives "failed to connect to the switch"

Argh, I can't find enough reliable info on the routerboards. I want a 8+ port Gigabit switch and would love to have it running OpenWRT or linux or what have you. I went to the mikrotik site and nothing there was fitting the bill. But the link you posted has all sorts of models I haven't seen on the Mikrotik site (but still don't fit). Is there something I'm missing? Can someone point me in the right direction here?

As long as we're dreaming, give me an RB493AH with an 8 port giga switch, dual USB, and of course OpenWrt.

I can't find any reason for it to have changed with the latest updates.

After running "make", go to the bottom of "build_dir/linux-ar71xx/linux-2.6.28.10/drivers/net/phy/ip175c.c" and add this printk statement:

int __init ip175c_init(void)
{
        printk(KERN_WARN "Registered ip175c\n");
        return phy_driver_register(&ip175c_driver);
}

Then, run "make" again.

This should help narrow down if there is another problem with loading order.

You could try updating back to an older revision but I don't think that is related.

Good news: SVN 16316 have some patchs to ar71xx. svn up and I Include #5193 patchs, without phorn printk. Also, the correct is KERN_WARNING smile
robrob: The #5193 patchs is not applied to trunk, yet.
Need more tests, but now I can ping !

Well, I need to try trunk because when run kamikaze 8.09 with icplus-patch.v3.1, the interface hang after random time (hours or days), in RB450,
The watchdog do not boot. Only interfaces hang. I put the "lost ping watchdog" script to save some data. dmesg show notting abnormal. load average is HI (6 or more).

Patrick, I tried to add your printk statement but couldn't get it to compile so I started over with a new svn, then tried the patch from this thread, and then the two #5193 patches. All three builds dmesg still showed eth1: driver=Generic PHY

But I can now ping without a segfault.

Also, what do you mean by "all three builds"? Just apply both of the patches from #5193.

Then, run "make". After building it, edit "build_dir/linux-ar71xx/linux-2.6.28.10/drivers/net/phy/ip175c.c" like before, and add:
printk(KERN_WARNING "Registered ip175c\n");

(I had forgotten the ING on KERN_WARNING)
Then, run "make" one more time and it should build that file.

Then, could you post the output of "dmesg", at least until it has printed the "registered ip175c" and the "eth1: using Generic PHY"

Patrick,

I compiled  a fresh svn with no patches and flashed the router, tried your patch and flashed, then reverted the patch and applied the  two #5193 patches, compiled and flashed. All 3 images gave the phy=generic dmesg.

I get an error when I insert your printk statement. Where exactly does it go in the ip175c.c file?

Thanks again for the help.

You sure you cleaned out the kernel sources? It's not smart enough to figure out exactly which .patch files changed since the last build, so you may have just compiled the same kernel three times unless you made clean.

Just to make absolutely sure, do:
TOPDIR=$PWD make -C target/linux clean

make: Entering directory `/home/ext/prog/kamikaze/target/linux'
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ext/prog/kamikaze/target/linux/ar71xx'
rm -rf /ext/prog/kamikaze/build_dir/linux-ar71xx
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ext/prog/kamikaze/target/linux/ar71xx'
make: Leaving directory `/home/ext/prog/kamikaze/target/linux'

Download this one-line diff: http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~path … ment.patch
Save it in the "target/linux/ar71xx/patches-2.6.28/" directory.

Then, type "make".  To check, you can afterwards open up "build_dir/linux-ar71xx/linux-2.6.28.10/drivers/net/phy/ip175c.c" and make sure there is a print statement near the bottom.
You can also check build_dir/linux-ar71xx/linux-2.6.28.10/drivers/net/Makefile and make sure CONFIG_AG71XX is in the middle of the makefile instead of the 10th line.

I'm getting these messages every 10 seconds or so when nothing is plugged into the switch. Any way to stop it other than making sure an active connection is up?

Hi,
I compiled a latest openwrt without patches and flashed the RB450.  SVN was "svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk" and Revision 16438.
I added:
- message "ip175c: LOADED" into ip175.c
- compilation flags SW_CONFIG=y, SW_IP175=y ... .

I have tried:
root@OpenWrt:/# swconfig dev eth0 help
Failed to connect to the switch

Where is mistake ?
Can I compile kernel with debug info messages to solve this problem ?
Is PCI needed in RB450 ? I have read dmesg from RB493 and there area messages about connection PCI to the switch.

Thanks for help
Jirka

@robrob:
Port 4 on the routerboards is physically isolated and for all practical purposes is a standalone network port.  That message comes from the generic autonegotiation code in drivers/net/phy.c. I don't think there is anything you can do about it, except comment out the pr_info line in that file.

The original version of icplus.c seemed to also call "genphy_..." for port 4, but maybe it disabled that autonegotiation somehow.  You should also be able to get rid of it by turning the dmesg log level down, by setting some flag in /proc.

I would really only be concerned if the message was incorrect (if you plugged it into a host capable of 100/full, and it continued to print out "10/half")

@jirka:
The bug report has not been included in OpenWRT SVN yet, so that would explain why you ran into trouble. You need to apply it yourself:
https://dev.openwrt.org/attachment/tick … _phy.patch

Click to download in Original Format, and then apply it with "patch -p0 < ag71xx_phy.patch" from your kamikaze trunk.

You will also have to run:

TOPDIR=$PWD make -C target/linux clean

*after* applying the patches, in order to ensure that the extracted kernel tree is re-extracted. Just running "make" without cleaning will lead you to the same problem robrob had.

I will try to pester the openwrt channel and maybe send an email to the dev list. These patches are relatively simple so they should be included without much trouble.

Ok, i will ignore the message:
swconfig dev eth0 help ... -> Failed to connect to the switch

But, I have tried to setup interfaces separetly not in bridge. ETH0 is ok. I used script in this thread /etc/config/network ... and  ETH1.2,ETH1.3,ETH1.4 and ETH1.5 are wrong. I have tried "ping -I from this interfaces" and "ping from the PC to". There was not response.
I have watched some packes on eth1 ... tcpdump -i eth1.

I would like to know If i can compile some revision of openwrt for RB450 whitch supporting ethx interfaces separetly. Now I'm trying Revision 15328.

Thanks for help
Jirka

It is the same message.

root@OpenWrt:/# swconfig dev eth0 help

root@OpenWrt:/# swconfig dev eth1 help
Failed to connect to the switch

I think eth0 is for RB450. Eth1 is for RB493.

jirka,

Without the patch phorn linked to above none of the switch ethernet ports will work. eth0 is the WAN port, eth1 is the switch. Apply the patch, run the above clean command, compile and it should work.
