Change Port 2 from WAN to LAN

Difficulty level: Intermediate

Goal

 To change the functionality of the 6310-DX Cellular Extender's port #2 from a WAN connection to be a part of LAN.

Setup

This article assumes the 6310-DX Cellular Extender is operating under default settings, which provides DHCP connectivity to device(s) connected on LAN port 1 of the 6310-DX.  For more details on the default settings of the 6310-DX, see the Default Settings section of the 6310-DX User's Manual.  Also, refer to the Getting started with Accelerated View for details on how to configure a 6310-DX (or the Local device management section, if you are managing the device without Accelerated View).

Configuration Steps

Open the configuration profile for the 6310-MX and make the following changes.  

  1. Under Network -> Interfaces -> WAN, de-select the Enabled checkbox.

  2. Under Network -> Bridges, create a new entry called  LAN .

  3. Under Network -> Bridges -> LAN -> Devices, click Add twice.  Select Ethernet: LAN from the drop-down for one entry, and Ethernet: WAN from the drop-down for the second entry.

  4. Under Network -> Interfaces -> LAN, change Device to Bridge: LAN.
