Please note that any actions/modifications which alter the topology of the Ethernet bridge will
result in the Ethernet bridge spanning tree protocol requiring to relearn. During this relearn period
(may take up to one minute), HTTP access will be unavailable on all bridged interfaces (including
the LAN interface).
3.1 WAN Interface Status
This page displays the current status of the WAN interface, including the IP address and other
network settings the interface is currently using. If the interface is configured for PPPoE, a button
is available to allow the administrator to DISCONNECT an active WAN PPPoE session or to
initiate (CONNECT) a PPPoE session (if currently disconnected).
3.2 WAN Interface Settings
This sub-page only applies to the SP200X device. It allows the user to configure the Ethernet
WAN interface. First, select whether the device is to act as a router or a bridge between the WAN
and LAN interfaces.
Select whether you wish for the WAN interface to be configured dynamically (via a DHCP
server on the network if Ethernet, or via PPP if using PPPoE), or statically configured.
If
you wish to statically assign the WAN interface settings, enter the IP address, subnet mask,
default gateway IP address and DNS server IP address. It is also recommended that the network
domain name be provided as well, to ensure correct DNS operation.
