 OpenWrt Switch port number 1 is the physical network port labeled Internet (WAN) on the device, numbers 2-5 are the Ethernet ports labeled 1-4 on the device, and number 0 and 6 are internal connections between the switch chip and the CPU (labeled "CPU" in LuCI). Use these //switch// port numbers when specifying a VLAN's ports via the UCI (i.e., in the ''ports'' option of a VLAN's ''config switch_vlan'' section, in ''/etc/config/network''). OpenWrt Switch port number 1 is the physical network port labeled Internet (WAN) on the device, numbers 2-5 are the Ethernet ports labeled 1-4 on the device, and number 0 and 6 are internal connections between the switch chip and the CPU (labeled "CPU" in LuCI).
