On Vega gateways with two LAN ports it is possible to use these ports in two different ways.
Dual Ethernet Interfaces (Default)
In this mode LAN1 and LAN2 are independent interfaces that can be configured separately. Each interface has a separate MAC address and can have DHCP, static IP and other parameters configured independently. Either port can be used independently and it is not necessary to connect both interfaces for operation.

In this mode the Vega will appear to have only one logical LAN interface. All configuration is done against LAN1. The physical ports LAN1 and LAN2 share the same MAC and IP information but only one of them is active at any one time.
