Settings to Wired Networks to LAN to Networks - Configuring network in interface mode
When working in Wired Networks under LAN, while in interface mode, it does not show all ports on my switch? I have no other devices in interface mode (beside for default which selects all interfaces). It should show ports 1-8 (possibly the two SFP ports 9 and 10)?
Does this limit this network to only work on ports 2-6?

@FreeSamples For your reference I have ER605 and ER7206 in different sites. I can see they have different options here in "LAN interfaces". ER7206 have SFP port option here while ER605 only have 5 Ethernet ports. So I believe this option is just related to the Omada router.
Since you are not using Omada router, it should not influence any of your configurations.

I have read the guide and still not sure what this option does because you still go into the switch config and select which ports are assigned to what profile.

@FreeSamples Under LAN Interface you only choose the port for the Gateway(which LAN port will send out this VLAN Tagged data)
For the switch you need to go to Devices list-> Choose the Switch-> Port

That seems to make sense. If that is the case why can I not select the ports 1, 7, 8, 9 or 10?
Some possible mitigating factors:
- 7,8 are occupied by EAP670s and are already listed as not possible to be gateways.
- 9,10 are unoccupied SFP slots
Although port 1 is the trunk port where the actual gateway resides, it is not a TP link gateway, but a gateway none-the-less. When I migrate the trunk port to port 2 on the switch, port 2 is still as an option. Which makes me wonder why 5 ports on a 8 (+2) port switch only have 5 ports as options for the gateway. Is this a limitation of the platform?
Just as a note, I do not have any other vLANs (besides for the default port, which you cannot change) in interface mode.

Wow, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the input!
