7.1. Interfaces
7.1.1. Ethernet
M!DGE3 provides 5 physical Ethernet ports ETH1, ETH2, ETH3, ETH4 and ETH5. ETH1 - ETH4 ports
are metallic. ETH5 port is a SFP port. There is a possibility to define an Ethernet bridge - a logical
Network interface - by bridging (joining) together multiple physical Ethernet interfaces. All interfaces
bridged together share the same traffic.
7.1.1.1. Network interfaces
The Network interface (technically - an Ethernet bridge) is identified by a name. The name always begins
with a "LAN-" prefix. Multiple Network interfaces can be defined. Multiple physical Ethernet interfaces
can be bridged together by using single Network interface.
When unit is operating in Bridge mode - the default Network interface bridges together not only physical
Ethernet ports, but also the Radio interface. All the Ethernet traffic received by those Ethernet ports is
transferred to the Radio interface and transmit by the Radio channel and vice versa.
When unit is operating in Router mode - the Radio channel transmits only the traffic, which is destined
to the Radio interface by Routing rules.
The radio unit default setting bridges all Ethernet ports together. New Network interfaces can be defined
to split the Ethernet traffic of the individual ports. Any single Ethernet port can be detached from an
existing Network interface and added to another Network interface.
