Hi,

I'm using kamikaze7.09, I have a device similar to Fonera but we have 5 external physical ports.

My query is,
How can i map physical ports to external interface such that 

eth0.0 -wan
eth0.1 - lan1 
eth0.2 - lan2 
eth0.3 - lan3 
eth0.4 - lan4

Can anyone throw some light on above issue.

Thanks,
Sharad

The physical port number to the switch port number mapping is device dependent.

in /etc/config/network:

config switch eth0
        option vlan0    "0 5*"
        option vlan1    "1 5"
        option vlan2    "2 5"
        option vlan3    "3 5"
        option vlan4    "4 5"

The discussion might have continued from here.
