Help understanding vlan port configuration RT-AC87U

[Jack Yaz]

Am I right in understanding port 0 is the WAN port, and 8 is the CPU?

1-4 I'm assuming are the LAN ports on the switch, but what is port 5 - the 5GHz chip?

VLANs: BCM5301x enabled mac_check mac_hash
   1: vlan1: 1 2 3 5 7t
   2: vlan2: 0 7
1045: vlan1045: 1 4 5t 7t
1046: vlan1046: 2 3 4t 5t 8t
1047: vlan1047: 4t 7t
1099: vlan1099: 0t 3 4 5t 7t
1100: vlan1100: 0t 1 3 4 8t
1101: vlan1101: 0t 1t 2 3t 7 8t
1102: vlan1102: 0t 1t 5
1103: vlan1103: 1 2t 3t 5

The RT-AC87U's port 1 is from the Realtek switch, not the Broadcom one. So, robocfg can only manipulate ports 2 through 4, plus wan (0).

It's possible that port numbering might be inverted on the case, in which case it means port 1 through 3 would be LAN.

You can't do anything with the Realtek port.

No idea about the other ones (5 through 7), they are internal, and not used by the firmware.

Thanks!

Aha, found this post which clears it up:
