ER706W mirrored port setup via OC300
Hi all, I am trying to set up a mirrored port on the router, for an off line IDS, I am using an OC300 with FW version 1.22.4 Build 20240304 Rel.59252
The process is quite simple BUT there is one crucial element that is very confusing.
When I open the dialogue box to choose the port to mirror, the port numbering is different from the one in the rest of the GUI.
It reports in this order, ports: 7 1 2 3 4 5 6
Some of them can be selected, and some of them can't, but even considering active ports and the port I am configuring, I am not able to figure out which port is which!
This is my setup:
WAN/LAN 1, SFP port, offline
WAN/LAN 2 set up as WAN A, active
WAN/LAN 3 set up as WAN B, now offline
WAN/LAN 4 set up as mirroring port
WAN/LAN 5, offline
WAN/LAN 6 set up as LAN1, LAN port
USB modem port empty
What I see in the mirrored port source selection is:
7 can not be selected (USB port or SFP port? I think this is the USB, but it can not be selected because there is no USB modem in it? Other offline ports can be selected!)
1 can be selected (SFP port? how can it be selected if offline?)
2 can not be selected (if WAN A why can't it be selected? It's a regular ethernet port in the end)
3 can be selected (even if offline?)
4 can not be selected (mirroring port itself?)
5 can be selected (even if offline?)
6 can be selected (is this LAN1?)
May someone give me a clue about where to find some clarification about the port numbering so I can reconcile for sure number and phisical port, understanding exactly what I can and what I can't do according to each port role?
Thank you very much for your help.
PS I recommend a renaming of the ports in this part of the GUI, so that the process is clearer.
