Using unused Wan port as backup device

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration

Hi,

Could I use the WAN port on my Banana Pi as a back up to access Luci in case Relayd falls over taking the lan and wireless offline?

Thanks,

Aaron

Yes, of course. Just create a new network, with a static address in a different network segment, and assign if to that interface. Do not forget to configure the firewall, and the DHCP server if you need it.

Thanks! That is good to know there is another option to access the device if relayd stops working.
