Hi, Perhaps it was originally setup as a second wan port. Make sure it doesn't have a dhcp client (or pppoe client) or static address attached to it. Is it listed as wan in interfaces/Interface list Regards Roger
We found that ether2 on a newly installed RB4011 was "not working". 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...
Regards, K.
