Configuring the Primary Bridge Interface
The primary bridge interface (X1 in the example diagram) is
connected to your existing Internet gateway device. The only
step involved in setting up your primary bridge interface is to
ensure that the WAN (X1) interface is configured for a static IP
address. You will need a primary bridge interface with a static IP
address when configuring the secondary bridge interface.
Note: The primary bridge interface must have a static IP
assignment.
