Netgate 6100 LAN switch config
-
I recently purchased a Netgate 6100 to replace an old Netgate 3100. I used the old 3100 as a LAN switch between the four LAN ports. I am failing to do the same for the new 6100. Only 1 LAN port is working, accessing DHCP and providing WAN access. How can I configure the other 3 LAN ports so that all 4 function alike, so the 6100 acts as a LAN switch, as before with the 3100? Thank you!

SG-6100 doesn't have an integrated switch such as the SG-3100.
All ports in the SG-6100 are discrete ports. -
Thank you for the prompt and clear reply. How then might I configure so that clients on either of the 4 LAN are visible to each other? Can a VLAN span all four ports?

The only way of doing that is to configure a bridge, which I don't recommend.
I would just connect a switch to one of the SG-6100 ports and set the vlans there.
SG-6100 would route between VLANs, such as a router on a stick topology.
You can set a LAGG group between the switch and the SG-6100 also.
