Hi all,
I am setting up a 877-M and want to use one of the LAN ports, specfically FE3 as a WAN interface.
I have spent alot of time researching this but am still confused on exactly how to go about it.
Could someone please help.
A basic working config of this in action would help and an explanation.
Thanks

F3 is a Layer 2 only port.

So it cannot be done? i have read it can be done by creating 2 vlans and configuring a logical dialer interface?

Not unless you plug F3 to another router doing the routing.

You connect 877 unit 1 normally: DSL port connects to your DSL line.
Get another 877 and link them together using the LAN ports.
Why anyone want to do it this way, I don't know. It doesn't make any sense.
What is the speed of your DSL link?
