SG-4860 port enumeration
-
Just taken delivery of a nice shiny new SG-4860
My WAN & LAN ports aren't correct out out the box, when I connected the WAN port to my local LAN it didn't pick up an address via DHCP.
When I take the rj45 out of the WAN interface and connect it into the LAN port the WAN interface in the console comes up with a DHCP address.
I'd like the ports in future to enumerate correctly if I do a factory default, rather than having to faff about with the interfaces.
As of now :-
WAN (wan) -> igb1
LAN (lan) -> igb0
OPT1 (opt1) -> igb2
OPT2 (opt2) -> igb3
OPT3 (opt3) -> igb4
OPT4 (opt4) -> igb5What I'd like it to be to match the front :-
WAN (wan) -> igb0
LAN (lan) -> igb1
OPT1 (opt1) -> igb2
OPT2 (opt2) -> igb3
OPT3 (opt3) -> igb4
OPT4 (opt4) -> igb5The output from ifconfig :-

The auto-assigned order is correct, that's how the ports are on the system from left to right. Left-most is igb1, next to that is igb0, then igb2, 3, etc. Check the quick start guide.
-
So shouldn't the case of the SG-4860 have the left most port marked as LAN not WAN.

As I said in my port I had to move the interfaces over in the GUI so they matched the front of the SG-4860.
All up now and working, apart from a few minor niggles I have to say I'm very impressed.
-
When you are looking at the ports left to right: igb1, igb0, igb2, igb3, igb4, igb5.

You're not getting what I'm saying.
Out of the box my SG-4860 had the WAN and LAN ports reversed so the port marked WAN on the front of the router was actually the LAN port on the web GUI.
I had to swap in the GUI in the Interfaces -> Assign section ibg0 & ibg1.
The ports marked on the outside of the box read WAN, LAN, OPT1 - 4.
Anyhow everything is working a treat, I'm well chuffed.
