With https://git.lede-project.org/cd8b20931ee40a5cdf008e6087b35e7770fc51a1 the wan port is member of the switch can be used as eth0.2 using the default configuration.

I've tried to add a default config for the ethernet wan port as well using a solution similar to yours. But I wasn't able to come up with a solution which all other devs were happy with.

But with the mentioned commit it is now way easier to use the wan port as wan interface, since it is available in LuCI. No need to edit /etc/board.json. To use the ethernet wan port as wan interface apply the following changes to your /e/c/network:


config interface 'wan'
    option ifname 'eth0.2'
    option proto 'dhcp'

config device 'wan_dev'
    option name 'eth0.2'
    option macaddr 'aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff'

config interface 'wan6'
    option ifname 'eth0.2'
    option proto 'dhcpv6' 


If you are fine with the way it works now, please close the feature request.
