Re: Dual Router Configuration Setup Assistance

Nope........... Be it a two port or multiport device,

Take the extra port off bridge and do all your configuration from there safely.
give the port an ip address, use the ipv4 settings on laptop to access port and router.

In terms of interface list members, once the bridge is off the hook and just does bridging, it should not be used on interface list members, BUT all vlans if applicable should be identified as LAN membersl
