Is there a way to only stop the second wan interface?

[ComputerSteve]

I do not want to stop both Wans! I tried service stop_wan.. Which does indeed that. I only want to stop wan1 which is eth4. I would also like to know is there a terminal command to release the ip of wan1. See the problem i'm having is this. I want Wan1 or eth4 to release its ip after Wan0 comes back online and not hold the ip. So I want Wan1 to go back to cold-standby as asus puts it. If anyone has suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

You may try the following (maybe just the second command is enough):

nvram set wan1_enable=0
service "stop_wan_if 1"

nvram set wan1_enable=0
service "stop_wan_if 1"

so I tried it but I want to stop wan1 if its in state 2 while wan0 is also in that same exact state or in other words what Asus calls Hotstandby ... I tried this service stop_wan1_if 2 and it outputs Usage: service <action_service>. ... The issue is I want wan1 to go into state 2 when it needs to. Meaning when wan0 is in state 3 or disconnected.

Oh, let me clarify: for the service stop command provided above, "if" actually means "interface". So, for example, to stop wan0, use service "stop_wan_if 0". And to stop wan1, use service "stop_wan_if 1".

To achieve what you are looking for, I believe you need a certain IF-ELSE-FI logic to execute the service "stop_wan_if 1" command under specific wan state values.

I hope this helps!
