OC 300 FW version 1.22.4 Build 20240304 Rel.59252
Hi all,
I am setting up a mirrored port in my ER706W for an offline IDS.
Unfortunately the port numbering in the GUI, when managed by an OC300, is quite odd and I am unable to reconcile the port numbers I see in the GUI with the default port numbers (WAN/LAN1 and so on), according to the port status (active or inactive) and the port role (can I mirror the WAN port?)
It looks like I can mirror offline ports, BUT not if the offline port is the USB port without a modem installed.
It looks like I can not mirror my WAN port, even if it is an Ethernet port...
This is my setup
WAN/LAN 1 SFP offline
WAN/LAN 2 Online WAN A
WAN/LAN 3 Offline WAN B
WAN/LAN 4 Online mirrored
WAN/LAN 5 Offline
WAN/LAN 6 Online LAN 1
USB empty
What I see in the GUI
Port 7 can not be selected (USB?)
Port 1 can be selected
Port 2 can not be selected (WAN?)
Port 3 can be selected
Port 4 can not be selected (mirroring port itself?)
Port 5 can be selected
Port 6 can be selected
Where can I find a formal naming map so that I can understand what can be done and what can't?
Is my understanding of the port numbering, correct?
Why can't I mirror my WAN?
Thank u in advance, kind regards
L.

@Clive_A you have the full description I'm my first post
I checked with the dev and it is about the hardware. This port cannot be mirrored due to hardware limitations. The #2, the WAN(RJ45), cannot be mirrored.

Hi @WideVisions
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
From the left to right, that's the order matching the 7 1 2 3 4 5 6. I locked your other post due to the repeated contents.

Oh. OK. I saw different content, so I thought you repeated it.

@Clive_A yes I missed it and I had to rewrite the whole post :P ahah Anyway, about the mirroring configuration, from my understanding I can only mirror LAN ports, not WAN ports, cause I can't mirror my WAN A port. Is this correct?

You can mirror a WAN port. If a port is mirrored, then you cannot mirror it again.

@Clive_A there is something wrong then, because I can't select my WAN port as a source for the mirror port.

Paste the current mirroring status and the configuration page of your port mirroring. What port greys out?
Make sure your firmware of the controller and the router are both up-to-date. Will take a look at your case.

@Clive_A ok thank you very much!
I mirrored the LAN port so it's no big deal, but now it makes sense because as I wrote, I wasn't able to reconcile the port numbers without considering that the WAN port can't be mirrored :)
Have a great day!
