Flip WAN/LAN of Brume 2

Technical Support for Routers
2

I’m basing this on a Slate AX running firmware 4.4.6-release1. The Burme 2 may be slightly different.

So the 2.5GbE is eth0 == WAN while eth1 == 1GbE == LAN by default. Modify /etc/config/network accordingly around line 41 to ‘invert’ that:

config interface 'wan'
        option device 'eth0'
        option proto 'dhcp'
        option force_link '0'
        option ipv6 '0'
        option metric '10'
        option peerdns '0'

You’ll probably need to nix eth1 from the bridge but attach eth0 to it, ~line 11:

config device
        option name 'br-lan'
        option type 'bridge'
        list ports 'eth1'
        list ports 'eth2'
        option ipv6 '0'

/etc/init.d/network reload should kick it into effect.

Here’s a practical primer if you’ve never ssh’d into or edited on a Linux box:
