Configuring Bridging
132
2. The page displays radio buttons for enabling, and a table for
specifying the interfaces on which bridging will be performed.
The table may be empty if bridging has not yet been configured.
3. Select the [Interface Name] on which you want to perform
bridging and click [Add]. For example, select [eth-0] (LAN)
and [eoa-0] (WAN) interfaces. If you use a USB-connected
computer, you can also select [usb-0].
Note: If you enable bridging on an interface that has already
been assigned an IP address, it is considered IP-
enabled and will route (rather than bridge) IP packets
received on the interface. The interface will however
bridge the non-IP data it receives. You can determine
whether the Ethernet ([eth-0]) and USB ([usb-0])
interfaces have to be assigned IP addresses by
displaying the [IP Address Table] (display the [Routing]
tab, and click [IP Address]). The interfaces will appear
in the table only if they have been assigned IP addresses.
You can check whether the [eoa-0] interface has been
assigned an IP address by displaying the [EOA
Configuration Table] (click the [WAN] tab, and click
[EOA]). If the [Config IP Address] field is empty and
the [Use DHCP] field contains the word [Disable],
then no IP address has been assigned.
