I've got a basic hotspot installation. 6.2 firmware on 450g. But, not sure if the "switch all ports" should be enabled or not.
Presently it's not enabled. Yet, a friend who's running same hardware but non-hotpsot mode (basic firewall, NATed) is running with the "switch all ports" enabled, and his network seems to fine.
I have no bridging between ports etc...
Simple Lan port (ether-2) as master and 3,4,5 as slaves with ether-1 as WAN.
Suggestions please,
Thanks
Shouldn't be on. Switch all ports also adds ether1 to the switch group. You generally don't want to do that if ether1 is your gateway
From WIKI:
switch-all-ports=yes/no -
"yes" means ether1 is part of switch and supports switch grouping, and all other advanced Atheros8316 features including extended statistics (/interface ethernet print stats).
"no" means ether1 is not part of switch, effectivly making it as stand alone ethernet port, this way increasing its troughtput to other ports in bridged, and routed mode, but removing the switching possibility on this port.
