The content of this topic has been archived between 6 Feb 2018 and 6 May 2018. Unfortunately there are posts – most likely complete pages – missing.
This thread seems to go from A to Z with all kinds of patches and lots of talk of conflicting patches.
Is there a how-to guide to get OpenWRT on an RB450? Or should I start from the beginning of this thread and just apply all the patches and things people speak of throughout this thread?
Thanks!
Look at the first post of this thread for info on the RB450. By following those directions you will end up with a router that has all 5 ports combined.
The rest of the thread is about the IP175C switch (i.e. separating the 5 ports to not be part of the same network). If you are going to try to follow it, you can look at the third page.
My webpage at http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~pathorn/ip175c/ describes how to patch openwrt 8.09 RC1 to support the switch driver. Try to follow them and if you get stuck, post in the forum.
Would also be nice to get this info up on the wiki so users don't have to hunt through the forum (although Google does a pretty good job at searching the openwrt forum)
@robrob, I haven't updated the patches yet for 2.6.27 or later. I'll try and put those up once I upgrade my router (have been busy lately). Sadly, I do not know how to get them formally into openwrt, aside from pestering the main developers... and considering how quickly the supposedly 2008 release has been going, they are probably overworked.
First, I like to collaborate, posting information , step by step , how to make a RB450 ready to use w/ kamikaze.

hello guys .... i applied the patch, got it compiled .... but i really couldnt understand the config of /etc/config/network.
on the posted config from some users, i have ports from 0 to 5 ... which would give 6 ports
uci set network.0.vlan1="0 1 2 3 5*t"
uci set network.0.vlan2="4 5t"
config 'switch' '0'
option 'vlan2' '3 4t 5t'
option 'vlan3' '2 4t 5t'
option 'vlan4' '1 4t 5t'
option 'vlan5' '0 4t 5t'RB450, thus, have only 5 ethernets. So i think the 0 or the 5 should be some special thing ...... but i really couldnt get the logic behind that config.
well ....... i would like to have 2 interfaces, one being attached to 2 ports and the other interface attached to 3 ports. Bridging can be used to acchieve that, no problem at all. Can someone help me with this simple config ?

The "0" referring to the switch is a reference to the name of the MDIO bus. In the Linux kernel, for some reason beyond my understanding, the "name" of a MDIO bus is a number starting at 0 and increasing.
You can look at "/sys/class/mdio_bus" to see which available buses there are.
Port 5 always refers to the CPU port (A switch built into a router is actually a separate 6-port switch with one of the 6 ports hardwired into the NIC (or CPU). This is the reason that you natively only see one NIC, and why you need to specially communicate with the switch driver about which ports to use.
Note that the UCI commands and editing the config file are separate things and redundant (if you add config 'switch' 'eth0' into /etc/config/network, you do not want to type the "uci set" commands. And vice versa. The only difference with uci is that your changes will be reverted if you do not commit them afterwards.
I will post both the uci versions and the config file versions.
In your case, since you want 2 ports in one and 3 ports in the other, this is how you set it up:
config 'switch' '0'
option 'vlan1' '3 4 5t'
option 'vlan2' '0 1 2 5t'
config 'interface' 'wan'
option 'proto' 'static'
option 'ipaddr' '10.2.1.1'
option 'netmask' '255.255.255.0'
option 'ifname' 'eth0.1'
config 'interface' 'lan'
option 'proto' 'static'
option 'ipaddr' '192.168.1.1'
option 'netmask' '255.255.255.0'
option 'ifname' 'eth0.2'Note that depending on how you set it up, network port 4 may actually be physically disconnected from the switch and instead will show up as "eth1" (while the switch is eth0) or show up as eth0 (while switched ports are at eth1). I do not have a RB450 so I don't know which it is.
So you may need to replace all eth0.1 with eth1.1, or you may need to divide up the switch ports differently (or combine them in a software bridge) if one of the ports is physically disconnected from the others.
The UCI commands are:
uci set network.0=switch
uci set network.0.vlan1='3 4 5t'
uci set network.0.vlan2='0 1 2 5t'
uci set network.wan=interface
uci set network.wan.proto=static
uci set network.wan.ipaddr=10.2.1.1
uci set network.wan.netmask=255.255.255.0
uci set network.wan.ifname=eth0.1
uci set network.lan=interface
uci set network.lan.proto=static
uci set network.lan.ipaddr=192.168.1.1
uci set network.lan.netmask=255.255.255.0
uci set network.lan.ifname=eth0.2Either way, to test you can do "/etc/init.d/network restart" and if you use UCI commands, once the configuration works, you should do "uci commit" which will write the changes into the /etc/config/network file.
The way I have this configuration set up, the ports 0,1,2,cpu and 3,4,cpu are bridged by hardware--that is, firewall rules will not be run if #0 sends a packet directly to #2.
However, if you would like to bridge them (which takes more CPU), you can do as the example above:
config 'switch' '0'
option 'vlan1' '4 5t'
option 'vlan2' '3 5t'
option 'vlan3' '2 5t'
option 'vlan4' '1 5t'
option 'vlan5' '0 5t'And then for any of the networks you want bridged, use "config type bridge" and use 'ifnames' instead of 'ifname', like this:
config 'interface' 'wan'
option 'type' 'bridge'
option 'proto' 'static'
option 'ipaddr' '10.2.1.1'
option 'netmask' '255.255.255.0'
option 'ifname' 'eth0.4 eth0.5'
config 'interface' 'lan'
option 'type' 'bridge'
option 'proto' 'static'
option 'ipaddr' '192.168.1.1'
option 'netmask' '255.255.255.0'
option 'ifname' 'eth0.1 eth0.2 eth0.3'Do not be confused by the numbering vlan1-vlan5 and eth0.1-eth0.5. The IP175C spec says that you cannot use VLAN 0 for anything other than QOS tagging, so I use 1-5 instead of 0-4. If it makes things easier, you can add 10, and use vlans 10,11,12,13,14 to represent ports 0-4.
Hope this helps clarify
EDIT: fixed to use ifname (II figured the plural was if you have more than one based on some post I read)

(bump) Seems like my question got passed over so I'll reiterate:

for RB450 you'll basically need only these 2 files:
openwrt-ar71xx-vmlinux.elf
openwrt-ar71xx-rootfs.tgz
the .elf is the one that you'll do the netboot, so this is the one you'll put in your TFTP server and configure your DHCP/BOOTP server for throwing it to RB450.
the two files will also be needed on some HTTP/FTP tree, so when the RB450 is netbooted, you can use the wget2nand script to install OpenWRT on RB450 NAND (flash) memory.
the other files are for other AR71xx based equipments, you can securely ignore them.
Hope this helps clarify
hope this helps ?!?!?! Are you kidding ??? I'm feeling like a RB450 switch master configurator right now 
This was basically the best explanation ever i could have had on the subject
thank you very much for the amazing explanation on the subject.
And then for any of the networks you want bridged, use "config type bridge" and use 'ifnames' instead of 'ifname', like this:
Patrick, i couldnt get the configuration working with ifnameS .... instead, it worked just fine with ifname (without S)
My config is:
config 'switch' '0'
option 'vlan1' '4 5t'
option 'vlan2' '3 5t'
option 'vlan3' '2 5t'
option 'vlan4' '1 5t'
option 'vlan5' '0 5t'
config 'interface' 'wan'
option 'type' 'bridge'
option 'proto' 'static'
option 'ipaddr' '172.16.0.15'
option 'netmask' '255.255.255.0'
option 'ifname' 'eth0 eth1.2'
config 'interface' 'lan'
option 'type' 'bridge'
option 'proto' 'static'
option 'ipaddr' '192.168.1.1'
option 'netmask' '255.255.255.0'
option 'ifname' 'eth1.3 eth1.4 eth1.5'which results in: (some lines cropped)

Cool to see you have it working.
Any reason you chose to do the bridging in software rather than hardware? I suppose it does give you more flexability
I am asking because my cheap atheros chip can hardly handle 25Mbit/s in software before maxing out the cpu. Though I figure ar71xx is a lot faster.
phorn ....... these RB450s are going to be used as SOHO routers on DSL lines with 2-4Mbit downstream max, so there's absolutely no chance i'll hit CPU problems with that.
anyway, i'll try to do some testings on RB450 throughput with and without bridged interface and will post it here.
about the bridge ....... it's simply because i'm used to work with bridged interfaces, so i prefeer to keep that
for RB450 you'll basically need only these 2 files:
openwrt-ar71xx-vmlinux.elf
openwrt-ar71xx-rootfs.tgz
Awesome, many thanks!
Patrick,
I've done some RouterBoard reconfiguring and now have a an 802.11n card in my RB493AH. My problem is if I use the 2.6.26 kernel for your ipc175 patch I can't use ath9k. I would like to try to port your patch to 2.6.28. Could you outline the basics of what needs to be done? Earlier you wrote that a couple of other patches would have to be moved up to 2.6.28 too. Is that still true with the 2.6.28.3?
Again, thanks for all the help,
Rob
Hi all,
I was just wondering if there is a plan to support the 450G? It's basically a faster version of the 450 with gigabit ethernet instead of 10/100. I purchased one recently and I am using the built-in RouterOS, but I don't mind helping out with adding support for it to OpenWRT.
Thanks.
Support for the 450G will come down to which gig switch it has. Unless Mikrotik used a common gig switch chip it probably won't get supported. I can't use OpenWRT on my RB493 because the IPC178 switch chip isn't supported.
Hi all again!
I´ve been successfully using patch v3 over SVN 13191 for a while on a RB450.
Lately, we had some porblems, with the router hanging really hard... after some inspection, we discovered it is related with really high softirq usage. At approx 6Mbps of traffic (involving 4 ports in the swith, each on a different vlan), the router becomes unresponsive, with 100% proc used by softirqs.
Any advise on how this could be solved??
TIA!

System halted.Looking at the serial console output I see a few errors during bootup. I've trimmed out everything from my previous post to illustrate only the errors (listed below). I followed the steps on the first page to get OpenWRT booting on the rb450 using openwrt-ar71xx-vmlinux.elf (version 8.09 of kamikaze), so why would I be getting these errors? (See my previous post for the entire boot output)

....I've done this, and I'm able to start the netboot process but it fails to completely boot. Here's the output:
I didn't actually put in the "next-server 192.168.200.2" line, as we're not using the 192.168.200.0/24 subnet, in case that helps anyone figure out why I'm getting all these weird errors.
It appears that nbd has added the IC+ switch support to SVN trunk, and it is nicely integrated into phylib, meaning that it should work for every platform with one of these switches. You should only have to enable "swconfig" in the kernel configuration under Base System.
Currently the switch is only enabled by default on atheros. If you do not use that architecture (not sure what the rb uses), then you will have to change your kernel configuration to include CONFIG_PHYLIB and CONFIG_PHY_IP175C:
To do this, go to target/linux/MYPLATFORM/config-2.6.28 and add these lines:
CONFIG_IP175C_PHY=y
CONFIG_PHYLIB=y
Hi, I'm trying an openwrt trunk on a mikrotik RB450 board which comes with a IP175C ethernet switch.
I followed your instructions at http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~pathorn/ip175c/ and I added
the two options CONFIG_IP175C_PHY=y and CONFIG_PHYLIB=y to target/linux/ar71xx/config-2.6.28
but unfortunately the kernel doesn't detect the IP175C (reading from dmesg) and my vlan setup doesn't work.
Any hints?
Could you paste the exact line from dmesg? It should be near the top, around where it also mentions loading the NIC driver.
You may also need to look for CONFIG_ICPLUS_PHY and make sure it is disabled, since it might conflict with the new driver.
The only print statement in nbd's new driver says:
"ip175c: Found an unknown IC+ switch with model number %02Xh."
And then I would be interested in the model number it prints.

There's no such line at all, this is my dmesg:

I don't have the /proc/switch subdir, is it normal?
Do I have to compile package/switch for my architecture (ar71xx) to get the switch_core module?
How do I set my vlans?
Thank you,
