    yes but you  have to undo the switch lan association

     

    e.g

     

    config sys global

        set internal-switch-mode interface

    end

     

    So lan ports1-4 wll be individual interfaces. The catch tho you need to remove all dependencies to the lan interface.

     

    Also you have alternatives such as placing a switch between WAN1 and the 2 uplinks and tag one of the or both of the uplink providers.

    @scuba1900:

    @emnoc has already answered the question 4 weeks ago. Split the internal switch (ports1-4) into individual ports and then you can use any port for any purpose. Even WAN load balancing.
