Ethernet Port Group Editor

A Port Group represents a logical grouping of Ethernet ports. Any computers physically connected to ports in a group will be allowed to freely communicate with each other. For example, if you leave all four orange ports set as LAN ports, you might group Orange Port 1 and Orange Port 2 together to be part of your primary network, and then group Orange Port 3 and Orange Port 4 together to be part of a guest network.

NOTE: When a port group uses the LAN mode you must separately ensure that this logical interface is attached to a Local IP Network in the top panel of this page.

Port Group ID: The Group ID field provides a reference to this grouping of ports to be used in other parts of the router configuration. For example, this ID is referenced in the Local IP Networks configuration to attach this logical group of Ethernet ports with a network configuration. Use a simple short text phrase to describe this group, such as "main", "guestports", "backup_wan", etc.

Select one or more ports to create a port group that you can subsequently attach to a network in the Local Network Editor. Double-click on any of the Ethernet ports shown on the left in the Available section to move them to the Selected section on the right (or highlight a port and click the + button). To deselect an Ethernet port, double-click on an interface in the Selected section (or highlight the port and click the – button).
