Hi there,

I'm currently running the latest Barrier Breaker release (rc3) on an Openreach ECI /r modem - being used as a VDSL modem, bridging the PTM and LAN interfaces PPPoE is being done elsewhere - all is working pretty well, however I have one question. I'm not sure if this is a bug, configuration issue or quite simply a limitation of the hardware - if anyone can point me in the direction of how to proceed, it would be much appreciated.

The issue: I only see one eth0 interface - even though both physical ports are accessible (there are 2 LAN ports on this hardware) - is there any way to split out each physical port to a separate eth interface? Are there any commands to modify the onboard switch (from what I can see it is not supported by swconfig)? Or are the ports simply a hub connected to an internal switch?

Clearly when I bridge the LAN/PTM interfaces LAN management traffic is seen on the designated 'WAN' interface due to the bridge, and vice versa, I'd prefer to have a separate bridge for port 1 -> PTM, then have port 2 for LAN only/management.

Looking at another users boot logs, albeit on an earlier Barrier Breaker build, it shows the below:

[    0.608000] eth0: attached PHY [Lantiq XWAY XRX PHY22F v1.4] (phy_addr=0:13, irq=-1)
[    0.620000] eth1: attached PHY [Lantiq XWAY XRX PHY22F v1.4] (phy_addr=0:11, irq=-1)

However, I see:

[    1.712000] eth0: attached PHY [Lantiq XWAY XRX PHY22F v1.4] (phy_addr=0:11, irq=-1)
[    1.720000] eth0: attached PHY [Lantiq XWAY XRX PHY22F v1.4] (phy_addr=0:13, irq=-1)

Any pointers gratefully appreciated, I'm including the full bootlog below as well:

I assume it is the below file that sets out what is possible:

                                compatible = "lantiq,xrx200-mdio";
                                phy11: ethernet-phy@11 {

                                };
                                phy13: ethernet-phy@13 {
                                        reg = <0x13>;

                                };
                        };
                };
        };

I see references to the 2 physical ports 11 and 13 that I see in my log files all under interface@0 - does this mean they will only work under 1 eth0 interface? i.e eth0 and eth1 are not possible?

If so am lost as to why the other users logs I found show eth0 and eth1, hacking required?

I checked with the stock unlocked firmware provided by 'James' on a Kitz thread, 'downgrading' from OpenWRT, when the LAN2 port is enabled on mine it assigns the LAN2 management IP to VLAN interface br0.102 - guess it gives me something to go on.

Still not sure why some of the other logs from other members showed eth0 and eth1, when I only have eth0 - hardware revisions seem to be the same from what I can see.

Hi posted some switch stuff on the other thread if it helps ?

Have tried the long-shot hack of enabling the switch in the dtsi file, it sees the switch with swconfig but it is impossible to enable VLANS:

switch0: eth0(Lantiq XRX200 Switch), ports: 7 (cpu @ 6), vlans: 64
     --switch
        Attribute 1 (int): enable_vlan (Enable VLAN mode)
        Attribute 2 (none): apply (Activate changes in the hardware)
        Attribute 3 (none): reset (Reset the switch)
     --vlan
        Attribute 1 (int): vid (VLAN ID (0-4094))
        Attribute 2 (int): enable (Enable VLAN)
        Attribute 3 (ports): ports (VLAN port mapping)
     --port
        Attribute 1 (int): uvr (Unknown VLAN Rule)
        Attribute 2 (int): vsr (VLAN Security Rule)
        Attribute 3 (int): vinr (VLAN Ingress Tag Rule)
        Attribute 4 (int): tvm (Transparent VLAN Mode)
        Attribute 5 (int): pvid (Primary VLAN ID)
        Attribute 6 (string): link (Get port link information)
root@OpenWrt:/# swconfig dev switch0 get enable_vlan
0
root@OpenWrt:/# swconfig dev switch0 set enable_vlan 1
root@OpenWrt:/# swconfig dev switch0 set apply
root@OpenWrt:/# swconfig dev switch0 get enable_vlan
0

Am going to try the other suggestion of enable eth1 again to run some tests, although I understand this was done initially to correct performance issues?

Have tried with the DTSI hack suggested by vrx200 to re-enable the eth1 port, below, replacing the relevant section:

 target/linux/lantiq/dts/VG3503J.dtsi
eth@E108000 {
            #address-cells = <1>;
            #size-cells = <0>;
            compatible = "lantiq,xrx200-net";
            reg = <    0xE108000 0x3000 /* switch */
                0xE10B100 0x70 /* mdio */
                0xE10B1D8 0x30 /* mii */
                0xE10B308 0x30 /* pmac */
            >;
            interrupt-parent = <&icu0>;
            interrupts = <73 72>;
                        
            lan1: interface@0 {
                compatible = "lantiq,xrx200-pdi";
                #address-cells = <1>;
                #size-cells = <0>;
                reg = <0>;
                mac-address = [ 00 11 22 33 44 55 ];
                ethernet@4 {
                    compatible = "lantiq,xrx200-pdi-port";
                    reg = <4>;
                    phy-mode = "mii";
                    phy-handle = <&phy13>;
                };
            };
                       
                        lan2: interface@1 {
                    compatible = "lantiq,xrx200-pdi";
                #address-cells = <1>;
                #size-cells = <0>;
                reg = <1>;
                mac-address = [ 00 11 22 33 44 56 ];
                          
                                ethernet@2 {
                        compatible = "lantiq,xrx200-pdi-port";
                        reg = <2>;
                        phy-mode = "mii";
                        phy-handle = <&phy11>;
                             };
            };

I now have both eth0 and eth1 and have configured the bridging in theory, not tested on a live line yet, management running on the 2nd port only with IP 192.168.2.1

Great.

If there is put through issues:

The phy22f might be the reason a quick change to phy11g might fix it.

target/linux/lantiq/dts/VG3503J.dts

Line 8 change 
firmware = "lantiq/vr9_phy22f_a1x.bin";
to
firmware = "lantiq/vr9_phy11g_a1x.bin";

jow has also patched the xrx200 switch from r42574

https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/42574

Not had much luck yet getting the vlan to enable.

That patch is the same as the manual patch you pointed me to earlier, isn't it? i.e nothing else has changed? I couldn't get VLANs to enable/save at all when I tried

root@OpenWrt:/# swconfig dev switch0 set enable_vlan 1
root@OpenWrt:/# swconfig dev switch0 set apply
root@OpenWrt:/# swconfig dev switch0 get enable_vlan
0

To be honest, I think I'd rather just have separate eth0/eth1 rather than messing around with VLANs - unless this will cause the performance issues - for the dumb modem that I use it as, VLAN just seems over kill when all I need is the PTM/eth bridged, then a separate interface for management. :)

Did you build your own image or use 3rd party? I ask as I have just installed an image on this device and am starting to hit the same walls as you iMx, I also have led issues but found this for tomorrow's task of the day. https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/t … order=name

From my limited understanding the are a number of target profiles for this device.

Any attempt to use the swconfig command causes the device to hang, also I am correct in using the target system Lantiq subprofile XRX200 target profile BT Openreach ECI VDSL Modem as I have noticed there are a few image using the xway subprofile ?

The discussion might have continued from here.
