For some reason network is not one network anymore #23

Since today or maybe since I added 3 new nodes on Sunday morning, the network does not behave like network anymore and for example I cannot ping from one location all WiFi points. But they work. And if I go to them I can ping them directly. It seems like we are not in one common network anymore. No idea why not.

Could it be because I moved some APs around and now switches are confused? Did this happen in the past?

On one OpenWrt router I bridged WAN and LAN together and for some reason that router when was connected on LAN port to the rest of the house then broke whole network. Probably there was some loop happening.

The issue was that for TP-Link WR1043ND v1 I bridged first by doing:

config interface 'lan1'
        option ifname 'eth1.1 eth0'
        ...

On v2 a similar thing (eth0 eth1) worked correctly, but for v1 I had in fact to modify switch instead:

config switch_vlan
    option device 'switch0'
    option vlan '1'
    option ports '0 1 2 3 4 5t'

And removed the second vlan (for WAN), and other WAN entries.
