Correct way to create a wan2 interface for mwan on ipq40xx switch

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
#1

HI, what is the correct way to create a second wan interface on the zyxel 6617 router from one of the lan ports, to use mwan3? ma config now are default, eth0 lan interface and eth1 wan interface.
i never looked at the switch of this router, looks strange, i don't see in luci the wan port into the default vlan.

Check the example.
You'll need to create a new vlan, say 3, and assign one port untagged and CPU tagged.

Yes, but don't change the default vlan1 (only remove the port)

ok after the right vlan, how create in network a new wan2 interface? i dont understart the phisical setting.

config switch
	option name 'switch0'
	option reset '1'
	option enable_vlan '1'

config switch_vlan
	option device 'switch0'
	option vlan '1'
	option vid '1'
	option ports '0 2 3 4'

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

that's my config, is that ok for a second wan or i need another vlan?

#6

ok i made it working, the problem was that the openwrt device page say that : Note that using eth0.2, eth0.1, won't work. but i my case when i set eth0.2 it work

#7

Remove 5, keep only 0t 1

The example is trying to accomplish something different than you are.
