A port set to admit tagged frames only will never see a BPDU, because
delivery rides the forward action and the ingress pipeline drops untagged
frames before the L2 lookup. The failure is silent and looks like a dead
receive path: the port turns edge after three seconds, the bridge elects
itself root, and nothing hints at the ingress setting. Diagnosing exactly
that cost most of a day on a live switch, with the neighbour provably
transmitting the whole time.
stp_setup() now prints one line per affected port, so the hint lands at
"stp on" and at every config replay on boot. The check runs in its own
loop after the MSTP write: port_ingress_filter_get() reads a register
into sfr_data, which the state-building loop above is still using. The
port number in the message is physical, matching what the ingress
command takes.
doc/stp.md explains why this can happen here and not on a normal bridge,
where BPDUs are consumed before any VLAN classification.
stp.rel stays at DSEG 5 with no OSEG and the image at 10498 bytes of
XDATA.
port_l2_forget() flushes the whole table and polls the flush engine
without a bound. A topology change only needs to age out the port that
changed, and the STP tick cannot afford an unbounded poll: add
port_l2_forget_port() with a single-port mask and the same bounded wait
the static-entry helper uses.
port_l2mc_set() writes a static L2 multicast entry for a reserved group
01:80:C2:00:00:<last> in a given VLAN with a given member portmask.
Slow-protocol frames must reach the management CPU without being flooded
to other ports, but the RMA "trap" action cannot deliver to the internal
NIC on this hardware - its destination is an external CPU attached to a
physical port. The working alternative is to keep the RMA action at
"forward" and constrain the egress with a static entry: the forward
lookup then hits the entry's member mask instead of the VLAN flood mask.
Hardware-verified on a SWTGW218AS in both directions: a mask without the
CPU bit stops delivery to the CPU, a CPU-only mask delivers with no port
egress. Lookups are IVL, so callers add one entry per VID they care
about; rewriting the same MAC+VID replaces the entry in place.
Used by the BPDU containment in the next commit; the pending LACP branch
adopts it for 01:80:C2:00:00:02 the same way.
The member mask of an aggregation group is decoded by hand in two places,
the lag command and the JSON behind the aggregation page, and every branch
that touches trunks adds another copy.
port_lag_members_get() sits next to port_lag_members_set() and both readers
call it. It answers from the hardware, so it covers a group configured with
lag and one a protocol brought up, without either having to say so.
It reads through reg_read() rather than reg_read_m(), so sfr_data is left
alone. Neither caller looked at it afterwards; both read the hash register
next.
Previously, renaming a VLAN or deleting and recreating it with a
different name did not update the displayed name. The vlan_names[]
array is an append-only buffer where vlan_name() returns the first
matching entry, so stale entries kept winning.
This commit adds vlan_name_remove(), which locates an entry by
VLAN ID and removes it via array compaction. The function is called
in two places:
- parse_vlan() in cmd_parser.c, before appending a new name entry,
to remove any pre-existing entry for the same VLAN ID
- vlan_delete() in rtl837x_port.c, to clean up the name when a
VLAN is removed
The implementation reuses the existing vlan_name() lookup, scans for
the trailing space of the matched entry, then shifts remaining bytes
left. Locals are declared as static __xdata to avoid the SDCC
overlay segment limit on banked functions.
Tested on KeepLiNK KP-9000-6XH-X:
- vlan 99 AAA p1u; vlan 99 BBB -> name updated to BBB
- vlan 99 d; vlan 99 CCC p1u -> name correctly CCC, not stale AAA
Note: This fix addresses the runtime XMEM state. Persistence of
renamed VLAN names across reboot requires the user to download and
re-upload /config, as is the existing pattern for all configuration
changes in this firmware.
Register RTL8373_EEE_CTRL_BASE did not actually exist at 0x606c,
instead RTL837X_EEE_STATUS is actually not only a status, but also
a control register for EEE enable/disable at the MAC.
The defines are not actually register bits, but port EEE settings,
so move them to rtl837x_port.h while adding 5G/10G flags.
Added new `vlan show` command to dump current VLAN settings.
Supports printing PVID & ingress filtering per port.
Added new `ingress [p]<mode>` command to setup ingress filtering.
Added wrappers for enabling/disabling vlan filtering. Currently
not configurable, but state in console is read via ASIC registers.
Full VLAN dump & web support of new commands will be added later.
I noticed that entering some vlan config, clicking "Update/Create", then
clicking "Get Configuration" resulted in Tagged/Untagged/PVID displaying
completely wrong data. It looks like the parisng in fetchVLAN() in
vlan.js was just completely disconnected from the layout of the
registers read by vlan_get() in rtl837x_port.c. Who knows how that
happened.
1. Fix fetchVLAN() member/untag parsing: the old code read bits [9:0]
as untagged and bits [10:19] as tagged, but the VLAN table register
layout is members in [9:0] and untag in [19:10]. Now correctly
derives tagged (member && !untag) and untagged (member && untag).
2. Add PVID to vlan.json response: PVID is stored per-port in separate
PVID registers (RTL837x_PVID_BASE_REG), not in the VLAN table entry.
The old code nonsensically tried to read it from bits [20:29] of the
VLAN table. Add port_pvid_get() and build a pvid bitmask in
send_vlan() so the JS can parse it correctly.
3. Remove auto-PVID logic from setC(): setC() is called by fetchVLAN()
while it's loading existing config, and so this logic mangled the
display of the existing config. Also, it doesn't make sense to
auto-set the PVID for tagged members (PVID relates to untagged
ingress.)
Currently 5 Bytes are used by the port and vlan configuration:
--------------------------------------------------------
; internal ram data
;--------------------------------------------------------
.area DSEG (DATA)
_port_ingress_filter_PARM_2:
.ds 1
_vlan_create_PARM_2:
.ds 2
_vlan_create_PARM_3:
.ds 2
They are used for passing parameters. Use __xdata to pass the
parameters instead.
