Set Up A Bridge For A Port Group - NETGEAR RAX5 User Manual

address within the Internet service provider's (ISP's) network (also called an ISP intranet
address).
The way you set up an IPTV port is by creating a bridge connection from the router's
Internet port to the LAN port to which the IPTV device is connected. When IPTV is
connected through WiFi, the router also must support a bridge connection from the
Internet port to the WiFi network. The designated LAN port or WiFi network effectively
becomes an IPTV port with direct access to the WAN without going through NAT.
Based on what your ISP requires for the device to connect to the ISP's network directly,
you can enable the bridge between the IPTV device and the router's Internet port or
you can add a new VLAN tag group to the bridge.
Note: If your ISP provides instructions for how to set up a bridge for IPTV and Internet
service, follow those instruction.

Set up a bridge for a port group

If the devices that are connected to the router's Ethernet LAN port or WiFi network
include an IPTV device, your ISP might require you to set up a bridge for a port group
for the router's Internet interface.
A bridge with a port group prevents packets that are sent between the IPTV device and
the router's Internet port from being processed through the router's network address
translation (NAT) service.
To configure a port group and enable the bridge:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > VLAN / Bridge Settings.
The VLAN / Bridge Settings page displays.
5. Select the Enable VLAN / Bridge group check box.
The page expands.
6. Select the By bridge group radio button.
This is the default selection.
