Assignment of switch ports to the DSL ports

Depending on the mode, devices with an integrated switch can enable some of the LAN ports to be used as additional WAN ports for connecting to external DSL modems. These ports are listed in the interface table as separate DSL interfaces (DSL-1, DSL-2, etc.). Each DSL port is enabled as a DSL interface in the list of WAN interfaces, where it is configured with the correct upstream and downstream data rates. It is assigned to the switch ports in the list of LAN interfaces.

Example LANCOM Wireless 1811 DSL:

Port Assignment Connector MDI-Mode Private mode
LAN-1 LAN-1 Auto Auto No
LAN-2 LAN-1 Auto Auto No
LAN-3 LAN-1 Auto Auto No
LAN-4 LAN-1 Auto Auto No
WAN DSL-1 Auto Auto No

The assignment of DSL ports to the Ethernet ports can be chosen freely. An effective solution is to assign the DSL ports in the reverse order to the ports at the switch:

Example LANCOM Wireless 1811 DSL:





  1. LAN4 / DSL-2
  2. LAN3 / DSL-3
  3. LAN2 / DSL-4
  4. LAN1 / LAN-1: This port remains reserved for the LAN.
  5. WAN / DSL-1: (dedicated WAN port for the device)

If the device is equipped with more than one DSL port, the DSL port to be used is entered in the list of DSL broadband peers:
