I have a sr102 which doesn't seem to functino with the sr102 image.

Please help

I have not provided more detail (yet) because the BB tells me that I cannot place links into the text- so I removed the links but the BB still said that I had links and refused to let me post more detail... very frustrating

Hi All,

Newbie to the forum and openwrt but not new to linux and higher level dev.

I need a few pointers to successfully turning an older SR102 into a ADSL router where I can have a good level of control over the routing table.

I have successfully installed a custom version of the sky firmware which would enable me to bridge the device and that may be enough but I may have to "double NAT" which I don't really want to do.

I have installed the openwrt version on my old SR102 - which announces itself as BusyBox1.23 and openwrt Designated Driver... if that means anything!

However, I think that either I've done something wrong (which is likely) or there's something not quite right with the firmware.

If believe that I followed the instructions here:
LINK REMOVED because I'm new

I used the serial port to burn the firmware ("Easy Option"):
LINK REMOVED because I'm new openwrt-sr102-limited-whole-image-with-luci.zip

I did not run openwrt upgrade... was this wrong? If so can someone point to the correct upgrade doc?

I can start CPE by rebooting the device with the reset button held down. The router then provides ethernet service on "1 9 2 local address" that enables me to access the h t t p interface where the only option is to (re)upload the image. I can do that and although it states that and looks like it flashes - nothing seems to change.

I can also start the device normally and get the openwrt prompt over the serial port.

There are only the "lo" and "eth0" interfaces defined in ifconfig but eth0 doesn't have an ip v4 address but does have a local ip v6 address.
There is no h t t p service running.
The config does not seem to match what I was expecting to find...

Can someone point to how I can determine either where I have gone wrong or perhaps help with getting this up?

Thanks in advance.

A BIG sorry about that. BB does not like an innocent h t t p

Not possible, DSL is not supported on BCM63xx.

Yes ok! Thank you, tmo26

So this device can only be a firewall or switch or router but not a wireless one with openwrt. That's still useful as it turns out.

As I asked before:

Thanks in advance again,

By default eth0 is in br-lan and would use that bridge interface's IP address.  You should be able to ping and ssh to the router over Ethernet at 192.168.1.1.  But... the trunk builds do not have a web interface.  See if there is a LEDE 17.01.4 build for that model and use it instead.  That will be a newer version and include web interface.

Thanks mk24 - I was using 192.168.0.0/24 network so I'll do as you suggest although I am concerned that the interface configs do not have any ip4 addresses according to ifconfig - and there's not enough of them I was expecting eth0,1,2 and 3 plus "lo".

As I said I'll do what you suggest thanks again.

Like most routers, there is one Ethernet port from the CPU which passes through an Ethernet switch to the cables.  These two functions are on the same chip, but logically separate.  The switch supports VLANs though, so you can separate the physical ports on the back to separate networks.   Once the switch is configured with VLANs, the networks will be accessed as eth0.1, eth0.2, etc.

Ok so I've done as advised...

From the PC i can't ping 192.168.1.1 and ssh says "no route to host"

To confirm on the PC:
I've set my pc interface to 192.168.1.100, 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.1
ifconfig shows the PC's interfaces with the correct ipv4 address

On the SR201:
The router pops out a console message when the ethernet cable is dis/connected
ifconfig returns two interfaces "lo" with 127.0.0.1 (as I'd expect) but "eth0" has not ipv4 value - "ipv4" is not mentioned at all for eth0.
I can ping 127.0.0.1 (as expected)
Pinging 192.168.1.1 the supposed router address returns Network unreachable

I'm still stuck...

Given that this is a "fresh install" - perhaps I'm looking at this wrong...
In /etc/config I have the following files:
dhcp, firewall, network, system, uhttpd, dropbear, luci, rpcd ucitrack

I'm wondering whether I have some manual configging to do with these?

scratch that- I've made some progress...

services are coming up nicely

Thanks for your help
