Bridge GUI Guide: Network Configuration

93

3.4.2

IP Configuration

The Bridge supports Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).

IPv4 is enabled by default. When it is disabled, the Bridge's
management IP address neither accepts or sends IPv4
packets.

IPv6 is always enabled on the Bridge, a state which is not user
configurable.

3.4.2.1

IPv4 Configuration

The settings that configure Internet Protocol version 4 on the
Bridge include:



IPv4 State

- adds the Bridge’s IPv4 address—and therefore

the Bridge itself—to the IPv4 network (

Enabled

) or removes

the Bridge’s address (and the Bridge) from the network
(

Disabled

). IPv4 is

Enabled

by default.



IPv4 Address

- establishes an IPv4 network address for the

Bridge’s management interface. The default IPv4 address
is

192.168.254.254

; it is normally changed during installation.



IPv4 Subnet Mask

- provides the correct IPv4 subnet mask

for the Bridge’s management interface.



IPv4 Default Gateway

- provides the IP address of the

default IPv4 gateway for the Bridge’s subnet.

In order to re-access the Bridge’s management interface after
changing the Bridge’s IPv4 settings, you must enter the
Bridge’s new IP address into a new instance of your browser.

3.4.2.2

IPv6 Configuration

NOTE:

Fortress’s

FastPath Mesh

functionality includes
independent IPv6 ad-
dressing, which can
supply additional IPv6
ULAs (Unique Local
Addresses, refer to Sec-
tion 3.2.1).

Internet Protocol version 6 is always enabled on the Bridge.

You can choose to allow all IPv6 settings to be automatically
configured on the Bridge, opt to manually configure the global
address and IPv6 gateway/metric, or use both manually and
automatically configured global addresses.

When

IPv6 Auto Addressing

is

Enabled

(the default) and there is

an IPv6 router on the network configured to provide the global
prefix, the Bridge will automatically configure a compatible IPv6
global address for itself, displayed under

Other Addresses.

If

additional IPv6 routers are present, auto-addressing will
configure additional IPv6 global addresses.

If a network IPv6 router is configured to do so, it will additionally
supply its own address as one of the Bridge’s IPv6

Default

Gateways

, with the appropriate

metric

. If more than one IPv6

router is present on the network and so configured, the
additional routers will also appear on the list of

IPv6 Default

Gateways

, with their

metric

s.

If you choose to manually configure IPv6 settings, these
include:
