Hey,

 

I'm trying to setup the ports of the switch correctly but I don't arrive anywhere. I'm using the mainline armbian for my R1. There are different files in /etc/network(e.g.):

-rw-r--r--.  1 root root  495 18. Jun 2017  interfaces.r1
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root  610 18. Jun 2017  interfaces.r1router
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root  359 18. Jun 2017  interfaces.r1switch

But even if I completely copy a configuration file to /etc/network/interfaces there are still no packets arriving at the Ports named lan1 to lan4. I checked this with tcpdump -i interfaceName, but all packets are arriving at eth0. Only some IPv6 packets are arriving at the lan-ports.

 

My current /etc/network/interfaces looks like this:

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# Local loopback
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0.101
iface eth0.101 manual
    pre-up swconfig dev eth0 set reset 1
    pre-up swconfig dev eth0 set enable_vlan 1
    pre-up swconfig dev eth0 vlan 101 set ports '3 8t'
    pre-up swconfig dev eth0 set apply 1

auto eth0.102
iface eth0.102 inet manual
    pre-up swconfig dev eth0 vlan 102 set ports '0 1 2 4 8t'
    pre-up swconfig dev eth0 set apply 1

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

# WAN
auto eth0.101
iface eth0.101 inet dhcp

I have read about the new DSA-option but don't see where it is used nor how. 

Is there a way I can use the LAN-Ports normally? Or is there a good tutorial on how to setup the switch correctly?

 

Thank you very much for your support!

 

 

look on page 2, 3 or my Google Doc

Aw, thank you so much. I'll try this right now. As far as I have seen your document says nothing about /etc/network/interfaces. So I can leave my interfaces file untouched?

 

EDIT: Sorry I found it. I will have to look at it again, as i still have eth0.101 and so on. But I got an IP-Address from dnsmasq for the first time.  Thank you very much for your help.
