Hi,

i have setup a RB450G with PPPoE client, nat and switched ports.

It looks like, after the router is rebooted, the lan interface is not brought up, no commands work on the CLI such as "interface print" or "ip address print" nor the switch ports work.
Using 4.2, but same problem was on 4.1.
After couple of reboots, everything works as expected, but this is a problem if doing remote updates or reboots.

I have noticed that this problem occurs only when the PPPoE client is enabled and configured. Thing is i cannot disable the client since the CLI does not respond to any commands, whenever i issue something it just hangs and if i press CTRL+C it goes back to the CLI with nothing being displayed, except for the table headers:

[admin@kick-home] > interface print
Flags: D - dynamic, X - disabled, R - running, S - slave
# NAME TYPE MTU L2MTU
[admin@kick-home] > ip address print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
# ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE
[admin@kick-home] > interface ppp-client print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
[admin@kick-home] >

Any thoughts ?

Thanks,
Viorel

Additional info:

when system reboot is executed, after some waiting period, i get the following:

Rebooting...
Stopping services...
failed to stop route: std failure: timeout (13)

failed to stop ppp: std failure: timeout (13)

managed to uninstall the ppp packages, however, after reboot, i got the same problem ...

I think i have identified the problem, which is very different.

What i was doing was to take all ports out of the switch, and use the "master port" setting on each interface.
When doing that, the problem described above occurs.

Please check
