Hi all,
My RB250GS started to behave very oddly after playing with VLANs.
It seems that the switch thinks it is RB260 as the interface changed and I can also see SFP tab in the menu.
I was using swOSv1.12 and added 3 VLANs , vlan1,vlan100 and vlan 200. I set the port 1 as passing all three vlans and port 2 to pass just vlan 200.
Like the example for router on a stick here :

After applying and about 4 minutes I could not get to the switch and had to reboot it.
Once the switch booted up, I could see the the VLANs interface has changed to what I suppose looks like RB260 rather then RB250.
Which would not be a problem but it cannot save any VLAN settings now. I can add VLANS but the port settings don’t save.
Also reboot button from the menu doesn’t work anymore.
Please see attached VLANs.jpg to see how the interface of my RB250 looks now. Before it was just with checkboxes for individual ports instead of dropdown boxes. SFP tab appeared now as well.
I have tried to update to 1.13 and also to downgrade back to 1.12 but the situation is still the same. ( yes I made sure I uploaded firmware for RB250 ; )
EDIT : and I also tried to reset the switch to factory defaults
Has anybody experienced something like this ? How can I get it back to functional state ?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
