Setting up WAN as LAN

Introduction

This article provides a guide on how to configure WAN port as LAN. These configurations are specifically made for RutOS devices (RUTX, RUT3, TRB1, TRB2).

Configuring WAN as LAN

• First you want to make sure that you have ADVANCED mode enabled. This will allow you to choose from a larger variety of settings.

• After that navigate to Network > Interfaces and disable WAN interface.

---

• Next we will edit our LAN interface and navigate to Physical settings where we will add Interface item from the dropdown menu.

---

• Select Ethernet Adapter item, by default it's eth1

---

• It should result in something like this.

• Once you're done with configurations above just save any changes you made. Now head to VLAN settings and check if WAN VLAN ID 1 is disabled, and ID 2 is untagged.

At this point, WAN port should work as LAN. Go ahead and try to swap from your to current port to WAN, you should be able to ping the router.
