MAC address
===========
Single MAC address derived from board partition with vendor-specific
format. MAC address is 70:49:a2:xx:xx:xx and applied to all switch
ports.
PoE
===
PoE is supported by realtek-poe package. To make it work, additional
options in the realtek-poe configuration file /etc/config/poe must be
set:
config globals
option force_baudrate '115200'
option force_dialect 'realtek'
Disclaimer
==========
Flashing OpenWrt will overwrite BootExtension + ZyNOS. BootExtension
functionality is not available anymore then. The U-boot/Bootbase still
has some limited functionality which can be used in emergency cases.
Installation
============
Simple web upgrade:
1. Take the OpenWrt factory.bin image generated by the build.
2. In the ZyNOS web UI, login and go to Maintenance -> Firmware Upgrade.
3. Under "Boot Image", make sure the Config Boot Image is set to 1. In
other words, make sure the switch booted from firmware image 1 or it
will do so on next reboot.
This is crucial, otherwise OpenWrt cannot boot.
4. Below, select and upload the factory.bin image. After clicking
upgrade, the image will be flashed.
5. After flashing has finished, reboot the switch. It will now boot into
OpenWrt.
U-Boot
======
This device ships with U-boot masked as Bootbase. After the device is
powered, a DRAM test is performed. Spamming $ during that test will drop
you into a shell after test finished. You'll have a limited command set
at first.
Unlocking the shell with [1] or [2] will give you a normal U-boot
command set. From here, you can perform initramfs boot or recovery.
Initramfs boot:
> loady 0x82000000 + go 0x82000000
Recovery:
> upgradeY image2 0x82000000 115200
Return to stock firmware
========================
1. Download the firmware for the switch from Zyxel website.
2. Unzip the download, there should be a .bin file with a alphanumeric
name.
3. Upload this file to running OpenWrt.
4. Run (use -F since the image doesn't have image metadata):
> sysupgrade -F <stock-firmware>.bin
5. Wait for the sysupgrade to succeed and the switch reboot. At the next
boot, ZyNOS should come up again.
