Hello everyone,
my WL-500gx is currently working just as a LAN-WLAN bridge and file server (the operation mode is Home Gateway because of some occasional experiments), which is pretty OK. There is one weird thing about its network interfaces, though. Looking at the output of the ifconfig command, I see a lot of traffic (RX bytes and TX bytes) in all of the interfaces including eth0, which is supposed to be the WAN port on WL-500gx. However, nothing is connected to the WAN port and if I connected something then, judging from LED, there is no activity on the port. When traffic flows through the bridge, it seems to add RX&TX bytes to eth0.1, eth1 as well as eth0. Why is that?
Nothing like this is happening in my WL-500g, which is configured pretty similarly. Its eth1 (which denotes WAN in 500g) has 0 RX bytes and just a few kB of TX.
Thanks in advance for an explanation :confused: :confused: :confused:
edit: FW version is 1.9.2.7-5a
