3rd and 4th Lan Ports for internet
-
Yeah failed why? He never stated where he has that device plugged in. Maybe it connected it to opt2 and only enabled dhcp on opt1?
But clearly the optput of ipconfig shown did not get an IP from dhcp server. 169.254 isn't going anywhere that is a APIPA address when a dhcp client doesn't get an IP from a dhcp server.

169.254 isn't going anywhere
this is true....
he wants both interfaces, (OPT1 / OPT2), but none succeed
-
Did he remove the bridge nonsense he setup?
There is not enough info to try and help him figure out what he is doing wrong.
If interface is configured with an IP, and dhcp is enabled on this interface. Then a dhcp client connected to that interface should and would get an IP from the dhcp server.
If doesn't then no its not going to get internet.
Once it gets an IP and other info from the dhcp server, gateway, dns - then you would need firewall rules on this interface to allow whatever traffic you want.
And you would also need outbound nat, which should be automatic and working as soon as created an IP on the interface and enabled it. But you don't know maybe he set his outbound nat to manual?
First step is to figure out why client that is set for dhcp did not get an IP from the dhcp server.
But also we need to know what he is plugging into this opt interface, is it the same dumb switch he is using for his lan interface, is it a windows device directly? Is it some wifi router? etc..
For all we know he plugged in some wifi router into this opt interface and its wan got an IP, but the lan side of that wifi router where he has his client connected doesn't have dhcp enable?
Info is required to help figure out whatever the problem is - without information, any guessing to what might be the issue is just that, guessing.

Any ideas.
I think you need to understand first that these are separate interfaces...(OPT1 / OPT2)
they do not depend on the LAN,...... just because it has Internet access by default (the LAN)forget your "bridge" idea - you presented above
set each interface separately and give them a "default allow rule" as shown on the LAN
(copy is good ....because fast)review the DHCP setting and cable connections...
say review the DHCP logs and connect your cable to the ports step by step
