The strip no longer wraps. Ports shrink to fit the row and scroll
when they cannot, so the header on a phone stays at two rows. The
strip moves under the title only below 720 px, where it no longer
fits beside it. Drop the unused d_ports strings and the strip title.
The row of port icons lived in a card on the Dashboard, so link
state and speed were out of sight on every other tab. Move it into the
header between the title and the save button, a little smaller, and
poll /status.json whenever the page is open instead of only on the
Dashboard, Ports and Statistics tabs; the existing idle and hidden-tab
gating still pauses it. On narrow screens the strip wraps to its own
row under the title.
The column counts the addresses the switch learns from incoming frames,
so "Connected" suggested a connection it does not show. The translations
follow the words the L2 tab already uses for learned entries.
hexvalue[] holds four bytes, but atoi_hex() stored every digit it was
given, so a ninth digit was written past the array into whatever follows
it in xdata. More than eight digits now return 0, as any bad input does.
c - '0' < 10 is computed as an int, so characters below '0' such as '-',
'.' or '/' passed as digits and "-1" came out as 0xdf. The difference is
now taken as uint8_t, so they are rejected.
"port <port> cabletest" runs the cable diagnostic of the copper PHYs
and reports one line per pair: ok, or open, short, short to another
pair or impedance mismatch with the distance to the fault.
The PHY part follows the cable_test_start and cable_test_get_status
ops of the Linux phy_driver and takes the port number:
rtl_phy_cable_test_start() triggers the test and
rtl_phy_cable_test_get_status() returns true once all four pairs are
done, with a result code and a length per pair. The decode order is
the one of the Linux driver. The same two functions drive the RTL8224
and the internal PHYs of the RTL8372 and RTL8373.
The command only powers the port down and returns. A state machine
called from handle_tick() calls the start op after one second, polls
the status op, stores the result, clears the trigger, also after a
timeout, and restores the control register, so the main loop never
waits. The result is printed when it is ready and "port <port>
cabletest show" prints it again. One test runs at a time.
The result flags are the low byte of the per-pair status word. The
vendor code reads the high byte, which is always zero on the RTL8373.
A link partner that keeps transmitting makes the PHY report an
inter-pair short on every pair, and forcing the speed with
autonegotiation off, as the Linux driver does, does not take the link
down. The port is therefore powered down for a second before the
test. The control register is restored afterwards with an
autonegotiation restart, so speed settings survive and the link
returns.
A test started on a port that is switched off never finishes and
leaves the PHY unusable until the switch is reset, so such a port is
refused, and a test is dropped if the port is switched off during the
wait. SFP ports are refused by the existing check. The external copper
PHYs of the RTL8372 boards are refused because the test has not been
run on one.
The distance is the raw length word minus 150, at 43 counts per 50 cm.
Fitted on open cables of 0.9 m, 2 m and 7.6 m; the pairs of one cable
differ by about 0.2 m. The Linux formula, raw minus 620 at 78 counts
per metre, gives 0, 0 and 2.4 m for these cables.
An unplugged port has no defined result: some pairs report open at
about 0.5 m and others a short or a mismatch at 2 to 3 m.
Move port_bit() to rtl837x_common.h as PORT_BIT(), a uint16_t shift,
and MAC_ADDR_LEN from rtl837x_lldp.h next to it, and use MAC_ADDR_LEN
for every address in the LACP code instead of a literal 6. Define
lacp_mux_update() before its first caller and drop the forward
declaration, declare variables at the top of their blocks, put the
operator at the end of a continued line, drop the field value comments
of the LACPDU struct, and leave lacp_port_lag to lacp_init() instead of
initialising it in the test environment.
The simulator answered /status.json without the "macs" field the Ports page now reads. It counts the dynamic entries of its own L2 table for the port, so the column and /l2.json agree and the two static entries show the difference.
The column listed the MAC addresses of the L2 table entries of a port, which cost a chain of paged /l2.json requests every tenth status poll. The status JSON carries the count now, so the column reads it from there and the page does not touch the L2 table at all.
The register counts the dynamic entries, so the static ones the list used to include are not in the number.
The trap is described with STP, so the LACP page only says that it is
used. The LACP sections leave link_aggregation.md, which now points to
lacp.md, and the timing section gives the values in seconds and the
802.3ad requirements without the test history.
The comments repeated the documentation, described tests or explained
the code to its author. What stays describes the LACPDU structures. The
timer constants are decimal, in units of the LACP timer.
The LACP test now compiles with the shared harness flags and
sdcc_shim.h against the firmware headers, so the copies under
test/lacp/shim are gone. test_port_tables already covers the trunk hash
seed that test/port_hash checked against its own register copies.
lacp_in() declares its locals at the top, which the stricter host build
needs.
The port and group of lacp_in(), the member mask passed to
lacp_lag_set() and the compiler temporaries both functions spilled took
six bytes of DSEG, and with them six bytes of stack. The locals and the
mask live in xdata now, the partner fields go through the scratch word,
and lacp_lag_set() records the new group of a port before it releases
the old one. One byte is left: the group number passed in.
lacp_in() always leaves uip_len at 0, so the tcpip_output() after it
never ran. The LAG page names the active members by front-panel port
instead of a logical mask. The partner key is not part of selection;
say so under Known limits.
Listing by next-address also returned the reserved-multicast entries STP
writes, shown as port 1 with a delete button, while l2_delete() still
looks up by next-unicast and so removed the unicast entry after that
index instead. The change was there to show the LACP steering entries;
delivery by trap writes none, so it goes.
Both paths wrote the trunk registers directly and left the protocol
running on the group, so "lag show" said disabled while the partner kept
both links in one aggregate, and re-sending the LACP line did not repair
it because the same-ports shortcut returns early. Each path now releases
the group from LACP first; for a group that never ran LACP that is a
no-op.
The receive machine armed current_while from the partner's TIMEOUT bit,
so against a partner on the slow rate a port whose LACPDUs stopped with
the link still up stayed in the trunk for the long timeout, two minutes.
802.3ad 43.4.12 starts the timer from the actor's own LACP_Timeout, and
we always advertise the short one: the partner sends every second and is
let go after the short timeout.
Sandbox T23 plays a slow-rate partner that goes quiet and fails on the
code before this.
