# sdc_cli iface set method br0 manual
# sdc_cli iface set bridge_ports br0 eth0 wlan0
Optional:
If IP communication between the WB and host device for configuration or otherwise is desired, then
additional IP configuration should be enabled on the bridge interface (br0):
# sdc_cli iface set method br0 static
# sdc_cli iface set address br0 169.254.0.1
# sdc_cli iface set netmask br0 255.255.255.0
# sdc_cli iface set broadcast br0 169.254.0.255
Use Case 2 Example
A single host device with a static IP for Wi-Fi on the host device’s Ethernet or USB interface to the WB
Enable the Ethernet interface and make sure it doesn’t use an IP configuration:
# sdc_cli iface set auto eth0 on
# sdc_cli iface set method eth0 manual
Enable the Wi-Fi interface and make sure it doesn’t use an IP configuration:
# sdc_cli iface set auto wlan0 on
# sdc_cli iface set method wlan0 manual
Enable bridging between Ethernet and Wi-Fi:
# sdc_cli iface set auto br0 on
# sdc_cli iface set method br0 manual
# sdc_cli iface set bridge_ports br0 eth0 wlan0
Optional:
If IP communication between the WB and host device for configuration or otherwise is desired, then
additional IP configuration should be enabled on the bridge interface (br0):
# sdc_cli iface set method br0 static
# sdc_cli iface set address br0 169.254.0.1
# sdc_cli iface set netmask br0 255.255.255.0
# sdc_cli iface set broadcast br0 169.254.0.255
Use Case 3 Example
A single host device with DHCP running on the WB’s Wi-Fi interface
Enable the Ethernet interface and configure a non-routable IP configuration:
# sdc_cli iface set auto eth0 on
# sdc_cli iface set method eth0 static
# sdc_cli iface set address eth0 169.254.0.1
# sdc_cli iface set netmask eth0 255.255.255.0
# sdc_cli iface set broadcast eth0 169.254.0.255
Enable the Wi-Fi interface with DHCP client support:
# sdc_cli iface set auto wlan0 on
# sdc_cli iface set method wlan0 dhcp
