4.4 LAN Bridge Connection

The LAN bridge connection is used to combine several LAN devices under

one virtual network. For example, creating one network for LAN Ethernet and

LAN wireless devices.

Please note, that when a bridge is removed, its formerly underlying devices

inherit the bridge's DHCP settings. For example, the removal of a bridge that

is conﬁgured as DHCP client, automatically conﬁgures the LAN devices for-

merly constituting the bridge as DHCP clients, with the exact DHCP client

conﬁguration.

Figure 4.54: General Bridge Settings

The top part of the conﬁguration window displays general communication pa-

rameters. It is recommended not to change the default values in this screen un-

less you are familiar with the networking concepts they represent. Since your

GlobeSurfer 3G is conﬁgured to operate with the default values, no parameter

modiﬁcation is necessary. You can conﬁgure the following general connection

settings:

Physical Address The physical address of the network card used for your net-

work. Some cards allow you to change this address.

MTU MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It speciﬁes the largest packet

size permitted for Internet transmission. The setting Manual, allows you

to enter the largest packet size that will be transmitted. To have the

GlobeSurfer 3G select the best MTU for your Internet connection, select

Automatic.
