2) "Converting" the Interface

• Set the Interface Type to “external”
• Give it a name under “Interface Name” (e.g. wan2)
• Switch the Zone to “WAN”
• If Your WAN IP Assignment is Dynamic, set “IP Assignment” to Dynamic.
  • If You plan to use PPPoE set it to “Static” and give it the following Parameters:
