Just wondering why is there a vlan10 in my router as there are only 4 ports in my router. But i do have a 8 port gigabit managed switch connected to port 2 of my router. Is the switch the cause of the error ?

Please help! Thanks in advance

Can you see the output these commands?

Code:
nvram show|grep -i ifnames
robocfg show
brctl show
ebtables -t filter -L --Lmac2 --Lc --Ln
ebtables -t broute -L --Lmac2 --Lc --Ln
ebtables -t nat -L --Lmac2 --Lc --Ln
iptables -t filter -L --line-numbers -v -n
iptables -t nat -L --line-numbers -v -n
 
You can try to add the rule of tc qdisc:
tc qdisc add dev valn10 root pfifo

or you can write a shell script to run.

Here is my output on Telnet

Thanks managed to disable the message :)

The root cause of dead loop message is because of no default qdisc in vlan interface, I don't know what condition you are using, so just input the command by yourself is better.

I believe vlan10 gets created while in Dual WAN mode. I know there's been a few fixes in the past for this issue, maybe the fix also needs to be applied in Dual WAN mode.

Dual WAN mode is not enabled on my router. Is there a possibility that AI protection and QOS are the cause of displaying the vlan10 errors?

Can you double check? I don't have any vlan10 interface here, and from what I saw in the code it only gets added when Dual WAN is enabled.

That shouldn't be related to QoS or AiProtection - that specific scenario was fixed by Asus a few months ago. I also do have my own router with these two features enabled, and don't any error messages logged.
 
USB + IPTV(or other vlad case) + AiProtection will make this issue occur.

Yes, i do not have dual WAN enabled. But i do have to select ISP profile which actually disable port 4 of my router.
Now the weird thing is that when i reboot my router, it shows the dead loop error message again.

When you reboot the router, you need to input the command "tc qdisc add dev valn10 root pfifo" again, or you need to add a script or crond to input this automatically.
 
How do I actually add a script or crond?
=============================
#!/bin/sh
tc qdisc add dev valn10 root pfifo
=============================
Save this shell script in /jffs/vlan.sh, when you reboot, you just use telnet and input "./jffs/vlan.sh" and then it's done.

If you want to use crond, I am not survey that, you can survey this kind of command in forum or Internet.
But I know it's the normal tool for linux user when they want to work something automatically or day by day.
Hope it can help you.
 
You can also put this line inside a wan-start custom script, so it will automatically be run whenever your WAN goes live. Make sure you do enable custom script support on the System -> Administration page.

How do i actually put the line in the wan-start custom script after i enable script support?

Sorry i have kinda of zero knowledge about linux stuffs for now :confused:

Make sure SSH is enabled on that same page. Then use a free SSH client such as XShell or Putty to connect to the router's shell.

Once connected, copy/paste the following text:

Code:
cat << EOF > /jffs/scripts/wan-start
#!/bin/sh
tc qdisc add dev valn10 root pfifo
EOF
chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/wan-start
exit
