Hi,
I'm a bit mystified as to why it would have been configured like that. I regularly use ether1 as a WAN and disable ether2, as I might want to use it as another WAN port later. Keeps things neat and tidy.

Investigation revealed it was not delivering an IP address via DHCP. Further investigation revealed that unlike every other port 3-10 in the bridge, ether2 was disabled. Since the DHCP server is on the bridge interface, devices connected to ether2 are not getting served. /interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 disabled=yes interface=ether2 add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether3 [etc] I didn't configure this unit. I'm a bit mystified as to why it would have been configured like that. My question is whether I can safely just enable it. I can't see why not, but as it is now in production I thought I would ask the brains trust...
