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.
