      I need to configure my new SG-1100 in advance of connecting it in it's eventual home, as the device it is replacing is in use and downtime must be minimised. I've connected my SG-1100 to my laptop via LAN port (as marked on the case), and got a connection to the Web GUI.

      The problem is that the setup wizard seems to have created VLANs called 'LAN', 'OPT' and 'WAN', and put them all on the same physical LAN NIC, presumably as this was the only NIC with a link up when I ran the wizard. The other physical NICs (marked WAN and OPT on the case) are not visible or configurable in any way in the GUI.

      I feel like I must be missing something but what? How can I configure the device in advance of making it live when I can't configure two of the three installed NICs? How can I enable them without connecting them to other devices?

      Thanks in advance.
