ETHx configuration for att uverse eap proxy

[gpz1100]

Recently got fiber installed and am trying to follow some guides on dslr for using a EAP proxy.

They make reference to identify each interface as a separate eth.

Using asus merlin, what commands are used to define each lan port as a separate eth interface? Router in question is an rt-ac68u. This is a spare router. Wifi will be disabled, no routing functions needed.. Strictly need to handle the eap proxying.

Thanks!

Running a dmesg results in this

admin@Router2:/tmp/home/root# dmesg | grep eth
eth0: Broadcom BCM47XX 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Controller 6.37.14.126 (r561982)
eth1: Broadcom BCM4360 802.11 Wireless Controller 6.37.14.126 (r561982)
eth2: Broadcom BCM4360 802.11 Wireless Controller 6.37.14.126 (r561982)

So it looks like each lan port is port is driven by a single actual nic rather than individual nics for each port.

Maybe what I want to do is possible be defining virtual interfaces for each port?

Here's what I'm trying to implement - https://strscrm.io/bypassing-gigapowers-provided-modem.html

Not much movement here. So the next question is this;

Does the switch/firmware support tagged vlan 0?

* Defined tagged vlan0 on 2 ports
* Connected ONT & WAN port of gateway to these ports
* Observed tcpdump (installed via optware) for vlan0 after a gateway reboot
* Saw no traffic at all

I expected some type of traffic even if 802.1x eapol packets were being ignored.

Thoughts?
