Creating a Wireshark of the WAN interface is no problem. I will do so when I'm back on site tomorrow.

Could you please instruct me how to mirror the USB LTE modem within the router? I'm not able to select the WAN interfaces to be mirrored. I don't know any other method to capture traffic on this interface

 

 

Interesting question about the interface status. As soon as I reboot the router, both WAN and USB LTE interface are in the state connected. The USB LTE interface only goes to the disconnected state when I unplug the USB dongle. The WAN interface goes to disconnected as soon as I remove the network cable. Both quite obvious :-). Otherwise the reported state is always connected:

 

So set up a static routing like this.

What would be the goal of making this static route?


Still I don't know how to mirror the USB LTE interface.

 

Kind regards.

This is to fix your problem. The dev tested it and told me that would fix it. They have successfully switched the WAN based on that static routing.

So, no need to Wireshark now.

Tested and it works! That is great news.

 

Do you think this is considered as a work around and a fix will come in a future release? The WAN interface is a DHCP client, so IP-adresses (and default gateway) could change on that side and that would undo this implementation right.

 

Many thanks for the help!

 

Kind regards.
