FIELD
Interface Name From the drop-down list menu, select the interface name on which you wan t to
perform bridging and click Add.
For example, select eth-0 (LAN) and eoa-0 (WAN) interfaces. If you use such
protocols on a USB-connected computer, you can also select usb-0.
If you do not have an eoa-0 interface, but instead have an interface named ppp-0 or
ipoa-0, your Prestige is not currently configured with a WAN interface that allows
bridging with your ISP. You may want to check with your ISP to determine whether
they use this protocol. See the chapter on Configuring EOA for instructions on creating
an EOA interface.
If you enable bridging on an interface that has already been assigned an IP address,
then it is considered IP-enabled and will route (rather than bridge) IP packets received
on the interface. The interface will bridge non-IP data it receives, however.
You can determine whether the Ethernet (eth-0) and USB (usb-0) interfaces have
been assigned IP addresses by displaying the IP Address Table (click Routing in the
task bar and then click IP Addr). These interfaces will display 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 (in the advanced task bar, 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.
