The following screen will appear. Bridge settings are described in the following table.
Protocol Mode Description
Bridge
A bridge is a layer 2 device that connects two segments of
the same LAN that use the same protocol such as Ethernet.
The modem does not have a WAN IP address in this mode.
The client PC will typically get an IP address from a DHCP
server in the network or the IP address can be assigned to
the client PC statically.

Routed Bridge
Routed Bridged Encapsulation (RBE) is the process by
which a bridged segment is terminated on a routed
interface. Specifically, the Router is routing on an IEEE
802.3 or Ethernet header carried over RFC 1483 bridged
ATM. RBE was developed to address the known RFC1483
bridging issues, including broadcast storms and security.
The modem will get a WAN IP address through DHCP or
can be assigned statically. NAT will use the global address
assigned to the modem.
