Configure the WAN/ETH1 port as a LAN or in a bridge

By default, the WAN/ETH1 Ethernet port on your Connect EZ 2 is configured to function as a WAN port, which means that it:

• Uses the External firewall zone.

• Receives its IPv4 address from an upstream DHCP server.

• Has SureLink enabled to test the quality of its internet connection.

Alternatively, you can configure the WAN/ETH1 port to function as a LAN port, or you can create a bridge that includes the WAN/ETH1 and ETH2 ports.
