IP Passthrough for WAN (WG1608 + RM500Q-AE)

[IonutZ]

I'm wondering if IP Passthrough is possible. I would like to create an eth interface on OpenWRT + RM500Q-AE to act as a passthrough via DHCP for whatever client is connected to the port.

Secondly, I would like to enable a different eth interface to just get an IP for the router so that I can do "in-band management".

Any help with the above would be greatly appreciated

Yes, you can create a bridge covering the two interfaces.

Also possible. Create a new interface assigned to the port you wish to use for management.
