Sphairon Turbolink JDR454WB with RT v2.97 - switch problem

Post by r719 » Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:15 pm

I have installed RT v2.97 (routertech-ar7wrd-pspboot-firmware-4ports-20120130) to Sphairon Turbolink JDR454WB. It seems that there is a problem with switch driver. When I connect etherhet cable from PC to first port, "Ethernet switch Configuration" display Phisical Port3: 100/Full Duplex. Conneting to second port, I see on screen Phisical Port2: 100/Full Duplex. To third port on router - on the screen is: Phisical Port1:100/Full Duplex. After connection to fourth port ethernet trasmission fault ! - on configuration screen all ports disabled !

There is nothing wrong with the switch driver. Obviously, your switch is supported only in a compatibility mode. What switch is it?

Presumably the ports are actually working?

Then your switch is probably shot. I have 3 routers with the Marvell switch, and none of them exhibits this behaviour.

It looks as problem with numbering of switch ports (?).
Before RT v2.97 router had firmware from DGTEAM - DG834V2_V3.01.31_0849 and all 4 slots worked OK!!!. On DGTeam firmware Dropbear (ssh) server can not handle tunnelling remote desktop of Win7 64bit, so I decided to flash Your BusyBox.
Maybe samebody has similar experience with Turbolink JDR454WB !?

I have only ever seen this kind of behaviour on ADM6996M switches (and, in each case, the switch was dying, or its eprom was corrupt). Someone wrote a low-level tool to manipulate the ADM switch at the hardware level, which could be used to correct the problem - see viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2909&p=40095#p40095
