I would like to add that I ran into some issue with the ERX configuration because I was using ETH1 as wan and ETH0 as LAN. I swapped them and ran the wizard and everything fell into place.

You can run any port you want as the WAN or LAN because it is a router. So anything you were experiencing was simply a misconfiguration.
That said, I always recommend that people run the default wizard and use eth0 for WAN and eth1-4 for the LAN just so when they have to google something, they will likely be able to simply use the results.

Yep. Eth0 or gigabit 0/0 is pretty standard to use as wan on any router. No reason to confuse people by changing it up (even though you should really use port descriptions if you can)

I'm really impressed at EdgeOS. I can't talk its praises enough. For $60 I can't see anything else comparing.

That is Ubiquiti's entire point

Ah, EdgeOS is nothing special. Ubquiti didn't to much work to it (because it didn't need much) VyOS/Vyatta is where all the magic came from.. Brocade tried Killing the Vyatta community edition though. So everything now is a fork from before Brocade bought them.

For $60 is the real point though. It was a great recommendation from @Dashrender and @JaredBusch

Yes, But what I'm saying is EdgeOS isn't really ubquiti's creation. You are just paying for Hardware really.

Have you kept up on it? They continue to customize and improve from that original fork.

Nope. Mine's still at 1.5.x or 1.6 that the ERL came with originally. Haven't needed to updated it.

@Jason Eth0 has been LAN on my SonicWALL and Sophos SG 210. I thought that was weird but I just got used to it, so I mirrored the config on the ERX. I understand that there must have been a configuration issue but wasn't sure what it would have been. The WAN port was on DHCP, the LAN was set with a DHCP server on it for connected clients but I couldn't get out. I swapped them and ran the wizard and it worked.

Willing to bet you had the WAN port also on the switch0.
-
@JaredBusch That would do it.

If you had an ERL, that would not have been possible. In fact, the original wizards for the ERL all had people put the WAN on eth1 because you had to plug in to eth0 with a fixed IP to get into the ERL in the first place.
-
@JaredBusch So I wasn't that far off when I was setting up the WAN on eth1

It's VyOS, which took over from Vyatta when that went away. We've been using some form of that for over a decade now. It's been consistently awesome.

The beauty of open source, it's amazing how often companies try to kill off proprietary software in the real world. Open source projects protect the end users should someone out there actually find the software to be useful. VyOS has taken on a much bigger life than Vyatta ever had.

It is NOT VyOS. It is Vyatta. I know we have had this conversation before. I wish you would keep your facts straight.

I have no memory of having discussed this.
It's a competing fork to VyOS? That seems odd. Why maintain two competing forks?
