On 21.02. I have four LAN ports. Port 1 has been configured as a virtual VLAN WAN port. This allows me to use port 2 simply as you would the port on a switch. But no connections on ports 3 and 4. I've tried setting up VLAN on them, so I can use them as I do now port 2, but I get error messages. All the posts here on VLAN are specific to OPs environment. Mine seems simple enough but I'm not smart to figure it out. Can someone please help me make use of the two other hardware Ethernet ports on my router by converting them to VLANs, so I can simply put an Ethernet cable on one end and have Internet connection on the other, to a computer, for example.
Please copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:

No, that's not what has been requested - that's only and exclusively (a considerably modified) /etc/config/firewall.

@slh I'm sorry, but are we talking about the same thread?

@tmomas @eduperez @slh I tried to put the 4 different command results in separately, but each time the code was wrong. And so I put all of them in one single entry. They are all in there. I thought it better to have it that way than have lines everywhere that do not respect forum rules.
What do you mean the "code was wrong" -- if you run each one individually, you should see the output for each of those files. You've only provided the firewall file so far.
@psherman @eduperez @eduperez @slh By that I mean after copying and pasting, some text was outside the </> and I could not figure out why. What I did: I ran each command in terminal. Then I pasted each into a word document, and from there I copied all, together, and pasted here. It is possible I made a mistake earlier. I do this again below:

Great! I'll leave you to the experts.
@psherman @RuralRoots @eduperez @tmomas @slh thanks a lot. I did not know that's what was being asked. I suppose what I said earlier about putting all 4 outputs in a single </> makes sense now that I have all the same 4 separated into their own </>. I hope the experts help me soon. I'm always grateful to them. Vlan needs a university 
I'm not sure what you're trying to do. The default configuration which you posted has one of the Ethernet ports for the wan network (to plug into a cable modem etc when not using the internal DSL modem) and the other three are the LAN. These three are both hardware switched with each other and software bridged to the br-lan lan bridge (which includes the wifi AP) via eth0.1
If you're running the web interface, the Network->Switch page makes this clear. A common situation with many devices is that the numbers marked on the outside of the case don't match the software port numbering. You can investigate this by plugging and unplugging one Ethernet cable at a time and watching the connection icons on the Switch page change. Make sure you understand the software numbers of each port.
@mk24 Thanks, Mike. What I'm trying to do is use the other Ethernet ports that currently if I plug a network cable into them and the other end of that cable to a computer, I do not get connection; that is, no access to the Internet is possible. So, now, there are only two Ethernet ports that are 'active' or work. The first one, which is WAN, and the second one. Ports 3 and 4 are not working. I'm aware about matching hardware ports to vlan ports. I'm not there yet, first, I must get ports 3 and 4 'active.' This is the main challenge now. Thanks a lot.
Looks like thia is a DSL modem/router (with no ethernet WAN port), and you need to use one of the LAN ports as WAN, right?
From your config files, I found a bit weird that the LAN pot seem to correspond with ports 0, 1, 2, 4 on the switch. Are you sure about this? Which device is this, exactly?
@eduperez thanks a lot. @psherman had helped me 'convert' one of the LAN ethernet ports as WAN. This is because the router does not have a dedicated WAN port. It is as you say a " DSL modem/router".
The only configuration I have done is the help @psherman gave me earlier, as described above.
I am at a loss what to do. But I know what I want: to be able to use Ethernet ports 3 and 4 on the device so that I can plug an Ethernet cable in them and the other end of that cable I can plug into a computer and get access to the Internet. Presently, there is no Internet connection on either of those ports.
Here is the link to that help earlier from @psherman Peter. Link
Thanks a lot.
