Configure the WAN/ETH1 port asa LAN or in a bridge

By default, the WAN/ETH1 Ethernet port on your IX20 is configured to function as a WAN port, which

meansthat it:

Uses the External firewall zone.

Receives itsIPv4addressfrom an upstream DHCPserver.

HasSureLink enabled to test the quality of its internet connection.

Alternatively, you can configure the WAN/ETH1 port to function as a LAN port, or you can include the

WAN/ETH1 port in the default LAN bridge or create a bridge that includes the WAN/ETH1 port with and

ETH2 portsand/or Wi-Fi access points.

Configure the WAN/ETH1 Ethernet port asa LAN

This procedure reconfiguresthe WAN/ETH1 port to serve as port for a LAN, which will result in the

device having two separate LANs: the default ETH2 LAN, and the LAN created in thisprocedure. To

utilize both LANs, you will need to havea device connected to the WAN/ETH1 port, and a separate

device connected to the ETH2 port to the default ETH2, and these deviceswill be on separate LANs.

If instead, you want the WAN/ETH1 port to bebridged with the ETH2 portincluded in the default ETH2,

see Create a bridge that includesthe WAN/ETH1 port, or if you want to create a new bridge that

includes the WAN/ETH1 port an other devices, see Create a bridge that includes the WAN/ETH1 port.
