WAN Port to LAN (flat L2 Switch)

Post by Hanselan-DE »

Please add a simple button like in tomato 1.28 (WR54GL) that disable WAN (NAT Function) and offer the WAN Port to the LAN Switch.

As side effect this button disables the firewall, nothing else happens. This ist not the same as putting the router to bridge mode. It just simpler, only wan to switch to get a L2 switch with 5 ports. I have replaced the wr1043nd with an old wr54gl to have this feature.

This is already possible when using 3G dongle or WPS/WifiClient for WAN.
Fonera 2100 - Gargoyle 1.4.7 - Wifi AP
TP-Link WR 1043ND - Gargoyle 1.5.7 - OpenVPN client
Linksys E4200 - Toastman Tomato v1.28.0499 - OpenVPN client
Virtual - pfSense 2.1 beta - OpenVPN Peer to Peer server (SSL/TLS-auth)

Okay so the basics for the option seems to exist, but i have to set it to 3G and plug a dongle. So please add

Internet/WAN option
- Plain L2 Switch (Bridged)
- WAN Ethernet Port add to Switch

dd-wrt has also an option to use a 5 port switch or router, only nat and firewall was disabled. You can further set another subnet for L3 routing or leave these fields empty for L2 switch. There is no wifi affected, only lan-lan bridge or routing.
