6.4 Bridge Port Roles

Use the Port Roles screen to set ports as LAN, DMZ or WLAN interfaces. The LAN port role
is not available on all models.
Connect wireless LAN Access Points (APs) to WLAN interfaces to extend the ZyWALL's
wireless LAN coverage. The WLAN port role allows the ZyWALL's firewall to treat traffic
from connected APs as part of the ZyWALL's WLAN. You can specify firewall rules for
traffic going to or from the WLAN. The WLAN includes the ZyWALL's own WLAN and the
Ethernet ports in the WLAN port role.
The following figure shows the ZyWALL with a wireless card installed and an AP connected
to an Ethernet port in the WLAN port role.
