The port was frozen at 514 in the call that opens the connection, so a
collector listening anywhere else was simply out of reach, and plenty do,
because 514 is privileged and containerised collectors usually get a high
port instead. Working around it meant putting a proxy in front, which then
rewrites the source address and hides which device actually sent the line.
Add `syslog port <n>`. The default stays 514, so nothing changes for an
existing configuration. Setting it tears the connection down and builds a
new one, the same dance the address already does, because uip_udp_new()
freezes the port into the connection.
The value is parsed here rather than through atoi_short(), which reports
"no digits" but not overflow: 65540 would quietly wrap to 4 and we would
open a connection to a port nobody asked for. Checking before each multiply
keeps it in 16-bit arithmetic. Zero then covers all three ways to be wrong -
no digits, past 65535, or an explicit "0", which is not a port either.
Whitelist the new command in config.js as well, next to `syslog ip`, or the
line is dropped without a word when the configuration is saved and the
setting quietly fails to survive a reboot. The dedup entry has to precede
the general `^syslog\b` one, otherwise it would deduplicate against
`syslog on`.
itoa_short() is new: itoa() only handles a byte and print_short() prints
hex, so there was no way to show a port as a decimal number. Kept separate
from itoa() rather than widening it, because every existing caller passes a
byte and would start paying for 16-bit divisions it does not need.
The scratch variables for the parser live in xdata. Locals there would take
internal RAM, and this image has none left: data ends at 0x77, the overlay
occupies 0x78-0x7f and the stack starts at 0x80. Measured: no module's DSEG
grew.
Add a device hostname settable from the CLI (`hostname <text>`) and the
System Settings page. The value is sanitized on ingest to JSON-safe
printable ASCII (<=23 chars), stored in a shared __xdata buffer, seeded
to "RTLPlayground" at boot, persisted through the startup-config, and
reported in /information.json. It lives in the common header so other
modules can advertise it (LLDP uses it as the System Name TLV).
A bare "vlan N" line never matches conf_cmds (a VLAN entry always carries
a member port or the mgmt/name keyword), so it is never stored. The
c !== "vlan N" comparison could therefore never match an entry; the
startsWith(prefix) check alone covers all stored vlan lines.
The firmware has a single management VLAN (one management_vlan variable),
so a stored config should never carry more than one "vlan N mgmt" line.
When parsing a mgmt command, drop any previously stored mgmt entry so
repeatedly changing the management VLAN no longer accumulates stale lines.
parseConf() only recognized "port N name" in conf_cmds, so "port N <speed>"
lines were treated as unknown commands and dropped on save - configured port
speeds never persisted.
Add the speed command (incl. optional half/full duplex suffix) to conf_cmds,
add a "port N" entry to conf_overwrite so re-saving a speed replaces the
previous value, and guard the per-port name entry so changing a port's speed
no longer wipes its configured name.
The vlan/mgmt lookahead split (commit dcc60c3) correctly separated the
patterns so that `vlan N mgmt` and `vlan N <members>` match different
conf_overwrite entries. But the filter that applies the overwrite still
used `item.startsWith(matchStr + " ")` with matchStr = "vlan N", which
also matches "vlan N mgmt" — so the management entry was removed whenever
the VLAN's membership definition was re-saved.
Example: with both `vlan 44 management 2t 4t 5 6t` and `vlan 44 mgmt`
in the config, changing the membership dropped `vlan 44 mgmt` entirely.
Added a `!item.endsWith(" mgmt")` guard so management entries survive the
filter. No reordering is needed: `vlan N mgmt` only sets the global
management_vlan variable (cmd_parser.c) and does not depend on the VLAN
table entry existing, so its position in the config is irrelevant.
The pattern /^vlan\s+\d{1,4}\b/ matched both VLAN membership entries
(vlan N <ports>) and management entries (vlan N mgmt), causing them
to overwrite each other in configuration[]. When saving, whichever
form came last in the cmd_log would dedupe the other out of the
final config — resulting in either lost membership or a stale mgmt
setting.
Split into two patterns using negative lookahead:
- /^vlan\s+\d{1,4}\s+mgmt$/ matches only mgmt entries
- /^vlan\s+\d{1,4}(?!\s+mgmt\b)/ matches everything else
Both dedup independently. Discovered via hardware test on 6XH-X
where 'vlan 44 mgmt' silently dropped 'vlan 44 management 2t 5u'
from saved config, locking out web UI on next boot.
Multiple related bugs in the Save-to-Flash path:
1. Multipart upload was missing the required filename argument,
causing the backend parser to fail. Added 'config.txt' to the
form.append call. This was likely the primary reason Save-to-Flash
was unreliable.
2. Web UI was not pausing its polling interval during flash write,
causing CPU contention and intermittent crashes. Added isSaving
lock and clearInterval before sendConfig.
3. conf_cmds whitelist was incomplete. Added: syslog, passwd, pvid,
ingress, port name, lag, laghash, isolate, stp, igmp, mtu, bw,
vlan N mgmt, vlan N d.
4. VLAN regex blocked named VLANs. New pattern allows optional name
(starts with letter, matching CLI parser semantics).
5. vlan N d (delete) was not persisted. parseConf now removes the
matching vlan N ... entry from configuration[] when seeing a
delete command, without storing the delete itself. Result: the
saved config describes the end state.
6. configuration[] was not cleared between flashSave invocations,
leading to stale entries from prior interactions.
7. conf_overwrite boundary fix: 'pvid 1' no longer matches 'pvid 10'
etc. Added trailing space in startsWith check.
8. All conf_cmds patterns now anchored with ^...$ for full-line
match. parseConf normalizes whitespace before testing.
9. Port range widened to \d{1,2} so ports 11+ are accepted.
Structural fixes (1, 2, 6, 7, 8) ported from mcaptur's closed PR #219;
remaining fixes (3, 4, 5, 9) and overall regex strategy are new.
