5.5 The Port Setting Screen
Click Configuration > WAN / Internet > Port Setting to display the following screen. Use the Port Setting
screen to set the SBG flexible ports as part of the LAN or WAN interfaces. This creates a hardware
connection between physical ports at the layer 2 (data link, MAC address level). This provides wire-
speed throughput but no security.
Note the following if you are configuring from a computer connected to a LAN or WAN port and
change the port's role:
• A port's IP address varies as its role changes. Make sure your computer's IP address is in the same
subnet as the SBG's LAN or WAN IP address.
• Use the appropriate LAN or WAN IP address to access the SBG.
Figure 54 Configuration > WAN / Internet > Port Setting
The physical Ethernet ports are shown at the bottom and the Ethernet interfaces are shown at the
bottom of the screen. Use the radio buttons to select for which interface (network) you want to use
each physical port. For example, select a port’s
LAN radio button to use the port as part of the LAN
interface. The port will use the SBG’s LAN IP address and MAC address.
Note: You will notice when Port 5 is WAN, Port 6 can only be WAN, this is because Port 6 has a
better performance as WAN and Port 5 works as failover.
