SAG-1000 allows you to assign roles to device ports. This helps you assign ports based on business requirements. This topic describes how to modify port roles in the Smart Access Gateway (SAG) console.

Prerequisites

An SAG-1000 device is used.

Background information

SAG devices support five port roles: WAN, LAN, leased line, management (MGT), and not assigned. By default, port 5 is the WAN port and port 2 is the management port. The management port cannot be modified. For more information about the management port, see Configure the management port. The other ports are described in the following section.
