Set Up a Bridge for a Port Group or VLAN Tag Group
Some devices, such as an IPTV, cannot function behind the modem router’s network address
translation (NAT) service or firewall. Based on what your Internet service provider (ISP)
requires, for the device to connect to the ISP’s network directly, you can enable the bridge
between the device and the modem router’s Internet port or add new VLAN tag groups to the
bridge.
Note: If your ISP provides directions on how to set up a bridge for IPTV and
Internet service, follow those directions.

modem router’s Internet port from being processed through the
modem router’s network
address translation (NAT) service.
