Configuration for Bridge Mode
A bridge connects two or more LANs, and it bases the forwarding decision on the
MAC address. In Bridge mode, filters, forwarding and routing do not apply. To set
up the bridge mode, perform the procedures below.
Part 1. Enable bridging function
Go to the WAN configuration page and select the
Bridging
option in the
WAN/
LAN Relation
field and then click
Apply
to commit the changes.
Figure 4-15 Enabling Bridging
Part 2. LAN configuration
In the
General > Protocol
field, select
Manual Config
or
DHCP Client
as required.
DHCP Client: Select this option if your network already has a DHCP server that
assigns IP to this bridge. If enabled, no further configuration is needed since the
DHCP server will pass the required IP information. Click
Apply
to submit your
changes.
NOTE: After registering the setting, your configuring computer may lose
connection to the Wireless Routing Center. To reconnect, you will need to
make sure the computer uses an IP address in the same subnet as the
Wireless Routing Center.
