A small resolver for IPv4 address records, so that clients such as NTP can
be given a host name: "dns server <ip> [<ip>]", "dns lookup <name>" and
"dns". Without a configured server it uses the one DHCP handed out. A query
goes to the servers in turn every two seconds and gives up after six tries;
answers with compressed names and CNAME records ahead of the address are
understood. A name that already is a dotted address is taken without a
query.
The resolver sits in BANK3, the command line in BANK2 next to the helpers it
uses. The System page shows and sets the servers.
Restore the sy_igmp and sy_services_note lines to their original
indentation so they do not show up as changed in the diff; the new
session timeout strings move to their own lines. Also add the es
strings, which were missing after the merge with main.
The speed selector on the Ports tab was filled with its options and never
given a value, so it read "auto" on every load whatever the port was set
to. Forcing a port to 1G and reloading showed "auto" in the selector
beside a link badge reading 1G.
The advertisement bits ports.json already reports say what the port is
set to: phy_set_speed() writes the same three registers the JSON reads
back, and every forced speed leaves exactly one of the six bits standing
while auto leaves the lot. Map those to the selector, and leave it alone
while it has focus, as the MTU field does.
Values with no entry in the table, such as the 100M setting that
advertises both duplex modes, leave the selector untouched rather than
claim a setting the list cannot express.
The EEE toggle posted `eee <port> <on|off>`, the reverse of the
`eee [on|off|status] [port] [100m|1g|2g5]` the parser and the
documentation describe, so the switch answered with its usage line and
the checkbox sprang back. The multi-page UI this replaced sent `eee on`
with no port at all, which toggled every port instead of one.
Moving the port to the end breaks the stored-configuration merge, which
builds its drop key as a line prefix: with the port trailing, a per-port
line matches the bare eee entry and replaces every eee line in the
configuration rather than the one for that port. Give the command its own
case beside the bandwidth one, so a line with a port replaces only that
port and a line without one clears them all, and accept the optional
speed word the command has always taken.
Reported by tofurky in issue #459.
The row sits between Hardware and Flash. The firmware sends the formatted string
rather than the raw register, since the System table prints its values as they
arrive.
Costs 186 bytes in BANK1.
The replay takes a line of at most 126 bytes, so a longer one is skipped
on boot. Neither the upload path nor the editor looked at line length,
so the file the user saved was not the configuration the switch would
come up with.
Reject such a body in config_take(), before the sector is erased, which
the upload path already maps to 400. The editor points at the offending
line and its length, and measures it in bytes rather than characters, so
a name written in a non-ASCII script is counted the way the switch
counts it.
Adds a numeric input next to the syslog settings to read and set the
session timeout without knowing the command. The current value is
reported in information.json, so the field also shows the default the
firmware was built with.
Costs 86 bytes of code (BANK1) and nothing in RAM.
Save to flash ran the stored config through the same filter as the
command log, so stored lines the page does not know were dropped. The
stored lines are now carried over as they are and only the log is
filtered.
ingress only changes the ports it lists, but the merge replaced every
stored ingress line. It now merges per port; "ingress t|u|a" still
replaces everything, and per-port settings an all-ports line already
overrode are not revived.
Write from the config editor no longer clears the command log or the
unsaved marker, since the edited text does not hold the changes made on
other pages; only Save, which merges them, clears the log.
The command log grows from 1 kB to 2 kB, which still fits the 2500 byte
output buffer, and send_cmd_log() stops at the end of that buffer.
The session timeout was a compile-time constant (200 s), so changing it
meant rebuilding the firmware. Make it a variable that keeps the same
default and add a "session <seconds>" command, so it can be set from
the console or from the startup configuration like the other settings.
Measured on KP_9000_9XHML_X_V3_1: ROM +180 bytes (BANK1 +17, BANK2
+161) and xdata +2 bytes; the internal RAM map is unchanged.
The firmware counts every authenticated request as session activity, and
the page polls the status every 2.5 s, so an open tab never let the
session expire. Track the last mouse, key, touch or wheel event and treat
the page as hidden once ten minutes have passed without one: the pollers
keep ticking but send nothing, the session times out in the firmware as
it did before, and the next input resumes polling, which meets the 401
and returns to the login page.
The firmware lists a LAG as its own entity in /stp.json (`lag` and `mbr`,
`p` 0) and drops the member ports from the list; its settings take
`stp lag <n>`. Give the group its own row in both spanning tree tables,
named with its members, key the cells by entity rather than port number,
and rebuild the tables whenever the entity set or a membership changes so
a group created on the LAG tab appears without a reload. The `stp lag`
commands are recognised for the unsaved-changes badge and the startup
config merge alongside `stp port`.
A dark receiver reports 0 mW, which printed as -Infinity dBm. The DOM
value has a resolution of 0.1 uW, so -40 dBm is the lowest reading the
module can express; clamp there.
The header carried the save button, the language selector and the theme
selector on every section, although the latter two are set once. They
now live in a Display card in the System section; the header keeps the
title, the unsaved-changes badge and Save to flash.
The forwarding database is read a page at a time; leaving the MAC table
or ports section let the walk carry on through the request queue. Give
the walk a generation number that the leave hooks bump, and stop the
walk at the next page when it is stale.
The VLAN table is one /vlanlist plus one /vlan.json per VLAN. A failed
per-VLAN request rejected the chain, so every VLAN after it was missing
from the table, indistinguishable from VLANs that do not exist. Keep the
row with the id and name from the list and a ? in the port columns.
Save to flash showed the merged startup config read-only, so a stray line
had to be fixed afterwards in the System section. The preview is now a
textarea: the size and unknown-line notes follow the edits, the write
button is disabled above 2048 bytes, and what is written is the edited
text.
The default hostname (RTLPlayground- plus six hex digits) overflows the
200 px sidebar; clip it with an ellipsis and keep the full name in the
title. The MTU and Mbit/s fields were 70 px, which leaves no room for five
digits next to a number spinner. The main column stops at 1400 px instead
of 1100 px so the dashboard cards sit side by side on a wide screen.
The old dashboard showed a hover tooltip per port with the link state and,
for SFP ports, the module and its DOM readings, and rewrote it on every
poll. The single-page app replaced it with a click-to-open dialog that was
a snapshot: the values did not change while it was open.
Build the rows once per port and use them for both: the dialog is
re-rendered on every status poll while it is open, and each port in the
strip carries the same rows as its title.
The firmware emits every per-port array in logical port order, which on a
board with a remapped port table (SWGT024: phys_to_log = {4,5,6,7,8,3,...})
is 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The old pages iterated over physical port numbers and
looked each entry up; the single-page app rendered the arrays as received,
so the ports, spanning tree, EEE and bandwidth tables and the dashboard
strip came out in logical order, and the strip put the SFP marker and the
detail view on the wrong port.
Sort every array by portNum on receipt so index i is port i+1 throughout.
The pages become one index.html holding every section, one app.js and a
self-contained login.html. The layout is a sidebar with light, dark and
Selenized themes (or follow the OS), a live dashboard with per-port
packet rates, and confirmation dialogs in front of the actions that can
lock the operator out.
Behaviour changes against the previous pages:
- every request goes through one queue that waits for the previous
response BODY rather than its headers: the firmware shares a single
output buffer across connections and delimits responses by closing,
so a second request in flight corrupts the first
- "Save to flash" merges the command log into the startup configuration
with the grammar the console accepts, shows the result before writing,
verifies the sector by reading it back and clears the command log only
after that; the header shows an "unsaved changes" badge while the
running configuration differs from flash
- the console section shows the output the firmware returns for a
command, including the parser's explanation on a rejected one
- the firmware update section checks size, bank header and CRC16 of the
image in the browser before uploading, shows upload progress and waits
for the switch to come back after the reset
- the ports table shows the learned MAC of a port when there is exactly
one and the count otherwise; the MAC table sorts per column, filters,
and names the LAG a learned address sits behind
- the spanning tree section sends only the settings that changed on
Apply instead of one command per control event
- link aggregation groups are numbered 1-4 like the command line, and
applying an empty group clears it
The translation table is inline in app.js with English, Japanese and
Chinese. The language selector sits in the page header and reloads the
page so that dynamically built tables are rebuilt in the new language.
Only login.html and the favicon are served before authentication; the
stylesheet, the port images and the old script bundle no longer exist.
The simulator's allowlist follows the firmware's.
The web UI became one index.html plus one main.js while this branch was
open, so the STP page changes had no html/stp.js and html/config.js left to
live in. They are re-applied here against the new structure.
A row now carries two derived fields: the name the CLI expects for it
("port N" or "lag N") and the key its controls are keyed by (the port
number or "LN"). A group's row is labelled with its front panel members,
which /stp.json reports in the mbr field.
conf_cmds and conf_overwrite accept the "stp lag N ..." forms so the
startup config keeps them.
Leaving SFP ports out of the table is deliberate for now, and being able to
force a module's speed belongs in a feature of its own rather than arriving
inside a fix, so that half goes again.
What remains is the off-by-one: createPortTable() read pState[i] where the
array is filled by portNum - 1, so every row started out showing the next
port's link speed until the first refresh corrected it. The debug line above
it goes too; it printed a third index, pState[i-2].
The port table skipped every SFP port outright, so on a SWTGW218AS the
uplink simply was not there. Of the seven columns only Set Speed is
meaningless for a module: the name, the link speed and the devices behind
the port all are worth showing, and the name in particular was accepted on
another page and then never displayed anywhere. The MTU table further down
the same page has always drawn the port, so the page disagreed with itself.
Give an SFP port its row and leave the three control cells empty. Whether
speed and disable should work for a module is a separate question and
untested, so this does not offer a button for it.
The link state was read one port too far. main.js fills pState by
portNum - 1, updatePortTable() reads pState[i-1], and createPortTable()
read pState[i], so every row started out showing the next port's link
speed until the first refresh corrected it. On the last copper port that
meant showing the uplink's speed. Feeding the real status.json of a nine
port switch through both versions:
expected 7 7 7 1 7 1 7 7 6
before 7 7 1 7 1 7 7 6
after 7 7 7 1 7 1 7 7 6
Dropping the skip also removes a trap rather than papering over it.
updatePortTable() addresses rows as tbl.rows[i], which only lined up with
port i because the SFP port happens to be last on this board. With a
module in the middle every row after it would have been off by one.
A device on an aggregate is learned against whichever member the frame came in
on, and the hash moves that around: the same address changes port every time
the flow mix changes. The table was telling the truth and there was no way to
read it, since nothing on the page or the console says those two ports are one
link.
port_lag_of() already exists and already knows the answer, so both views ask
it. The console prints LAG1 in place of the member, and /l2.json carries a
"lag" field beside the port, 0 when the port stands alone, which is the shape
/stp.json already uses.
Costs 151 bytes of BANK1.
The LAG page draws four sections headed LAG 1 to LAG 4 and wires their buttons
to lagSub(0) through lagSub(3), which then sends the index straight through as
the group number. So the first button asks for "lag 0", which the parser
rejects, and the page shows nothing at all because the error only goes to the
console. Every other button is off by one: the section headed LAG 2 creates
group 1.
The index stays 0-based for the element ids and only the command gets the
1-based number the CLI documents.
