MX95 WAN SFP port to LAN port

[CCarroz]

Assuming this is not supported, but wondering if anyone knows if I can change a WAN SFP port to a LAN port. Not seeing a option to change any of these ports but figured I would ask and see if I am missing anything.  

Thanks,

The WAN ports are hardcoded to be WAN ports.
The MX95 has fewer ports but in the normal setups they should be enough.
So you do have 2 SFP+ LAN ports you can use to downlink to your switches.

Sad day. Yeah, I have one port going to MS130 that in tern also has one open SFP+ port open. The 130 has my APs attached to it, but was hoping I could get my NAS and PC all on 10GB on the MX without having the extra hop. 3rd world problems I now.... o_O   

Thanks for the quick response, its appreciated even if you killed my hopes and dreams......

It would make more sense to have both your PC and NAS on the switch SFP+ ports if you really need the juice between those devices.  The switch will forward frames slightly faster than the MX unless you mean your NAS is on a different subnet, then you would need to pass the MX.  But don't worry L2 hops are in terms of microseconds.  You shouldn't notice a difference ')

For sure, but then I don't have the ports to go from the MX to the MS via 10GB. mGig would be fine but the MX does not have those for anything other than WAN.... so.....  Its not a big deal really.... Do I need 10GB at home at all???? No...No I don't... Need and why the $ not.... well........

Can you not plug PC into MS, MS-MX and NAS into MX all at 10GbE?

I can for sure. Just would prefer not to have the extra hop and share the 10gb link with other switch to MX traffic.
