Figure 23: Ethernet Settings – Network Behavior
The following items are displayed on this page:
◆ Network Behavior — For the Ethernet port which is not providing Internet
access, one of the following connection methods must be specified.
(Default: Route to Internet)
■
Bridge to Internet — Configures an interface to be attached to the WAN.
Traffic from this interface is directly bridged into the Internet. (See Figure 6,
“Bridge to Internet", on page 17 .) If an Ethernet port is bridged to the
Internet, management access cannot be made by a direct connection to
this port. However, if another Ethernet port or radio interface is within the
LAN (routed to the Internet) the access point can be managed through this
interface by a PC which is configured with IP address in the same subnet.
■
Route to Internet — Configures an interface to be a member of the LAN.
Traffic from this interface is routed across the access point and out through
an interface which is bridged to the Internet. (See Figure 7, “Route to
Internet", on page 18 .) By default, Ethernet Port 1 is routed to Internet,
allowing management access via a direct connection to a PC configured
with an address in the same subnet.
■
Network Name — The network to be routed. The default is “Default
local network” as displayed under LAN Settings – Local Networks.
■
Add to Guest Network — This port can only access the guest network.
■
Hotspot Controlled — This port can only access hotspot services.
■
Configure Hotspot — Opens the Hotspot Settings page.
