Bpi and gateway with wire

frank-w · December 18, 2018, 5:51pm

it is slow because of packet-drops…every dropped packet have to requested and sent again

source:

compiled Package:

backup your old uImage before overwriting. you have to change kernel-var in uEnv.txt if using another name than “uImage” for kernel

but something is strange in your system/with your r2

made test from my client over r2 (forwarding+nat/pat) to internet

have you looked on soldering-points of ethernet-ports? there were some bad ones on sata of some people here…maybe your ethernet-ports are affected with same issue

The welds seem normal, How did you see the welding problems? My BPI-R2 is in a box : https://e.banana-pi.fr/2165-thickbox_default/boitier-acrylique-pour-le-routeur-banana-pi-bpi-r2.jpg

Why backup my kernel ? If it’s don’t run I make a new sd-card. With a new config, first only for forwarding+nat/pat to internet. Start from nothing… And try now…

Now, I run with the new kernel…

The bpi-r2 is in the network (wan with lan0) and I can not communicate with the bridge.

No time now…

troumad · December 19, 2018, 5:53pm

Error… I can’t remove this.

frank-w · December 19, 2018, 6:13pm

You have a usb2serial-cable?

You have copied uImage to first partition in bananapi/bpi-r2/linux and modules to second partition (/lib/modules)?

Basicly folder-structure inside the archive

troumad · December 19, 2018, 6:38pm

I don’t have some time… But I have do test.

I think that’s bridge do not run. hdmi do not run. I have a usb2serial-cable, but I don’t remember who

if you use lan0 as wan and bridging lan1-3 why not using wan as management-interface with fixed address?

troumad · January 5, 2019, 8:29pm

Hello I come back !

I think that’s I have not welding problems. I have try all lan and the wan in the network.

auto lan3
allow-hotplug lan3

iface lan3 inet dhcp

All the lan0-3 have the same mac address ! I was connected in the bpi-r2 by the WiFi and try all the wired port : I my computer I test ping to wan. stop it. And in the bpi-r2, I do :

ifdown wan
ifdown lan0
ifup lan0

I deconnect the wire of wan and put it at lan0 and test ping with lan0.

frank-w · January 6, 2019, 7:37am

DSA-User-ports (wan,lanx) getting mac-address from CPU-port (ethx). Currently i’m testing to set fixed mac (default is random) without compiling full kernel.

You have no more problem with pingdrops?

troumad · January 6, 2019, 7:41am

No problem with this test. But it’s not the config that I need.

frank-w · January 6, 2019, 8:08am

You tested each port? If now all it’s ok you can move to your config step by step. But do not bridge wan+lan or ap0 with lan/wan

troumad · January 6, 2019, 8:59am

Before this hollyday, I have tested a bridge with lan0-3 only. It don’t work. I test no bridge (only lan0 zum bispiel) when I can.

troumad · January 6, 2019, 5:16pm

I have try to have a DHCP in my bridge :

auto br0
  iface br0 inet dhcp
  pre-up ip link set $IFACE address 32:D1:55:7D:03:39 up
  bridge_ports lan0 lan1 lan2 lan3
  bridge_fd 5
  bridge_stp no
  up /etc/init.d/firewall start

It don’t work. The bridge need have a public address !

frank-w · January 6, 2019, 5:19pm

i don’t think this is possible, all your clients need a public ip too. why not connect your ISP to wan and your clients to lan-bridge? thats the normal setup and r2 can do what it is designed for…routing

bridging your lan to public internet is a very bad idea

troumad · January 6, 2019, 5:21pm

I think that’s I have do this with the BPI-R2 and ubuntu. The PBI-R2 has work als a swith.

troumad · January 17, 2019, 12:57pm

Today I have a little time to test…

I don’t nothing understand. Before the test I have :

auto wan
  iface wan inet dhcp
  pre-up ip link set $IFACE address 32:D1:55:7D:03:39 up
  up /etc/init.d/firewall start

Before today I have never see problem with this. But today I have rbbot my BPI-R2 and after I have this :

--- 192.168.1.10 ping statistics ---

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.347/0.484/0.587/0.044 ms

I have the problem I had with the bridge br0 :I can’t run vi with a big file.

I try it :

auto lan0
  iface lan0 inet dhcp
  pre-up ip link set $IFACE address 32:D1:55:7D:03:39 up
  up /etc/init.d/firewall start

and I have no problem.

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.349/0.487/0.607/0.052 ms

After this reboot I have a problem with the https server. It answers with https://192.168.1.10, but it don’t answers with a public name (I use ovh for my domaine). The name is good “ssh mein_mane” is good but it’s redirect to a other computer. When it’s redirect to the BPI-R2, it’s don’t run.
And I don’t see any problem in /var/log.

troumad · January 17, 2019, 9:17pm

The problem with https redirection was due to the interfaces file
Now, I test the ping.

Have you a good configuration for a bridge ?

troumad · January 17, 2019, 9:38pm

troumad · January 20, 2019, 10:29am

This morning I have do a test

br0 with lan0-3. A computer (A) in lan0 and a other computer (B) in lan1.

when A ping B or B ping A : 0% lost,
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.171/0.365/.509/.0052

when A or B ping the BPI-R2 :

Why I have not eth1 in ifconfig ?

The beginning of /etc/network/interfaces is :

  pre-up ip link set $IFACE up
  post-down ip link set $IFACE down

second gmac is only available in 4.14.53+ or 4.19.14+

if A pings B (or opposite direction) through bridge, r2 does not touch Traffic, i guess it’s not running over CPU-Port (ethx), means directly in switch from port lanX to lanY
