Bridge mode
When configured in Bridge Mode, the router will act as a pass-through device and allow the workstations on
your LAN to have public addresses directly on the internet
.
EoA
EoA (Ethernet-over-ATM) protocol is commonly used to carry data between local area networks that use the
Ethernet protocol and wide-area networks that use the ATM protocol. Many telecommunications industry
networks use the ATM protocol. ISPs who provide DSL services often use the EoA protocol for data transfer
with their customers' DSL modems.
EoA can be implemented to provide a bridged connection between a DSL modem and the ISP. In a bridged
connection, data is shared between the ISP's network and their customer's as if the networks were on the
same physical LAN. Bridged connections do not use the IP protocol. EoA can also be configured to provide
a routed connection with the ISP, which uses the IP protocol to exchange data.
