[Solved] How to swap LAN switch to WAN

[markdayel]

On a GL.iNet GL-B1300, it comes configured as 1 WAN port and 2 LAN ports, I'd like to configure it to have 2 WAN ports and 1 LAN

i.e. instead of the switch bring across 2 LAN ports, it's across 2 WAN ports, so I can connect one cable whose device is on the LAN, another cable to the upstream WAN, and a third cable whose device would be on the WAN, not the LAN.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Yes, it should be possible.

this should be really simple...

swap eth0 (currently assigned to lan) and eth1 (currently assigned to wan and wan6).

Keep in mind that the upstream (wan) may only assign an IPv4 address to one downstream device (i.e. this router or the device connected to the other wan port) -- this is often the case for residential ISPs. That issue typically will not apply if you are connecting to an existing home network or similar context where such limitations are not imposed.

It worked! Thanks!
