3.4.2.3 Switch Control
The purpose of the Switch Control function is to create a WAN/LAN separation This gives the user the ability to create a
divided network with additional capabilities. This option only applies to units with the 5 port unmanaged switch (6x21).
Switch Control Settings
Enable Split Lan: This will alter the switch port allocations. When disabled, all switch ports 1‐5 will be treated as a sin‐
gle LAN. This will be configurable as eth0 and will default to being a firewall trusted/internal interface.
When enabled, port 5 will be divided out as a WAN port, eth0 (firewalled as external/untrusted). Ports 1‐4 will be an inter‐
nally trusted LAN (eth1).
Warning:
When switching modes, your firewall interface tables will be rebuilt and may need any custom changes reapplied. In
addition, a USER INITIATED reboot is required to complete the mode switch.
Warning:
When enabling switch mode, current ethernet settings (eth0) will apply only to the single WAN port. On the front of
the unit, this may be shown as <Port 5> under the power connector. The remaining four ports will be configured as a
LAN (eth1).
Please check your Ethernet connections to make sure that the new settings will not conflict with previous network config‐
urations. You may need to revisit your Untrusted/Trusted interface lists in the Firewall ‐> General Settings, as these will
revert to new defaults (eth0 will be firewalled as Untrusted!). After Apply is clicked and you check firewall/ethernet config‐
urations, a reboot is required to complete this process.
