Bonding offers the ability to “bond” interfaces together. Bonding can
be used to enhance throughput or provide failover capabilities.
Port Setup
The port setup section allows further configuration of the routers
network interfaces. Network interfaces can be separated from the
bridge and it is possible to assign separate network settings for each
interface. If an interface is separated from the bridge, add routing
rules to allow communication between the interface and the bridge or
other unbridged interfaces.
DHCPD
Besides the default DHCP server, you can define additional DHCP
servers.
2.3.1.6. EoIP
Tunnel
EoIP (Ethernet over IP) tunnels can transport Ethernet data packages
via a tunnel over existing IP connections. You can define up to 10
tunnels that can also be bonded.
2.3.2. Wireless
2.3.2.1. Basic
Settings
Each Wireless LAN interface has its own section in the wireless basic
settings screen. The wireless interfaces are labelled ath0 and ath0.1
– ath0.4 depending on the number of radios installed. To correctly
identify the antenna connectors, please compare the MAC addresses
printed on the enclosure with the addresses displayed in the web
interface.
Wireless Mode
This parameter is used to define the operating mode of the Wireless
LAN interface. You can select among the following modes:
Modus
Description
AP
WLAN Access Point mode (default)
Client
WLAN Client mode
Client-Bridge
Client-Bridge mode allows connecting to
another Wireless LAN access point and
establishing a network bridge with that
access point
AdHoc
AdHoc operating mode, required for building
mesh networks
WDS Station
WDS Station is the client in a WDS-AP <-> WDS
station bridge. This is a special wireless
networking mode that offers better
flexibility and security than the classical
MAC address based WDS.
WDS AP
WDS AP is the AP side for WDS AP <-> WDS
Station. A WDS AP allows connections from WDS
Stations and Wireless Clients.
