General Setup window
Enable Bridging
Selecting this checkbox in General Setup will allow you to access the
Bridge Setup screen, which you can use to enable your device's
transparent Ethernet bridging feature. This allows for the transference of
Ethernet packets between physical networks connected directly to the
base station.
If enabled, the base station will transfer Ethernet packets from one
interface to the other (for example, between the wireless and the wired
networks). The default behavior is to bridge all Ethernet protocols. You
can set which Ethernet protocols to bridge or deny, as well as, Ethernet
stations that will be allowed or disallowed to send packets over the
bridge using Bridge Setup from the Setup tab.
If disabled, only the IP packets with correct the IP Routes set up in the IP
Router Setup will be bridged between the base station's various
interfaces; general Ethernet packets will not be transferred across the
base station. This would be useful in a situation where you want to
enable IP traffic, but not general Ethernet traffic between (sub) networks.
Enable IP Routing
Selecting this checkbox in General Setup will enable your hardware
device to route IP packets between its various interfaces.
