Does it work OK when you configure it as a router in quickset? It should.
Then you can investigate what is going on.
As @pe1chl wrote: you have to remove router functionality by hand (either via GUI or CLI, just don't use quickset).It's when I apply the bridge config that things gets weird...
Is this the new API that sends the password in plain text?? I cannot figure WHY you guys would revert to that way of operation.update your api

Yes as I wrote before, just keep the bridge settings made by the router config but remove the ether1 address config (dhcp client) and join it to the bridge (and change interface list membership, remove it from WAN).
Not by using the quickset but as separate steps in the configuration. Then it could be you also want to change the firewall.
Try connecting within Mac Address. If doesn't works, and RS232 neither you should do a reset of the config.
Jumping from 6.40 to 6.45.1 it's a very very big jump and there was a lot of changes between that two versions. One of those changes was the elimination of master and slave ports. Now all needs to be done within bridges.
Right now yes, serial is your last chance to see what went wrong and not lose the configuration completely.
It's enough that I've lost switching possibility for ether1 after some prior upgrade (from 6.3x.x to 6.4x).

"it is ready when it's ready".
I can agree on this, but consider that just phisically plugging ether1 of rb3011 to one port of the crs326 immediately kills the rb3011 (switched off, dead untill I unplug the cable and it reboots) ..no matter what configuration you have. Furthermore a backup link should be a standby/blocked link with no activity, beside stp messaging, and so pretty stable! ARP issues with this simple scenario is clearly a nonsense.My thinking is that using STP to create redundant links between two directly attached devices is (slight) abuse.
In this case it would be better .. bonding..
