4 Enter the LAN and WAN port configuration parameters:
‹
Select Bridging Enable to forward Ethernet data based on MAC addresses.
Click Spanning Tree Enable to enable the Spanning Tree protocol.
The Spanning Tree protocol eliminates loops in a bridged LAN topology. When
Spanning Tree is selected, it becomes active when bridging is enabled. If the
modem is configured for routing only, Spanning Tree does not run. See
“Spanning Tree Protocol” on page 69 for more information.
Œ
Select Routing Enable to forward IP datagrams based on IP addresses. See “Routing”
on page 71 for more information.
Click
Static Route Table
to get a dialog to set up static routes. The modem can accept
up to 32 static route entries. Go to “Defining Static Route Entries” on page 51 to
configure these parameters.

Enter the
LAN IP Address
for the modem Ethernet 10/100BASE-T LAN port. The
default IP address for the LAN port is 192.168.0.1.
Enter the WAN IP Address for the ADSL (WAN) port. This option is available only if
routing is enabled and you must enter a valid IP address. When routing is not
enabled, the field is blank.
Ž
Enter the LAN IP Net Mask (subnet IP mask) for the modem Ethernet 10/100BASE-T
LAN port. The default IP subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Enter the
WAN IP Net Mask
(subnet IP mask) for the ADSL (WAN) port. This option
is available only if routing is enabled and you must enter a valid subnet mask. When
routing is not enabled, the field is blank.

The
LAN Bridge Port Priority
is preset to
100
. Bridge Port Priority is used when
Bridging
mode and Spanning Tree are both enabled and determines which modem port has
higher priority when active simultaneously.
The
WAN Bridge Port Priority
is preset to
101
. Bridge Port Priority is used when
Bridging mode and Spanning Tree are both enabled and determines which modem port
has higher priority when active simultaneously.
