3.2.2.1 IP Setup
IP Assignment: System allows you to assign the device IP address dynamically
from existing DHCP server or set a static IP address manually.
IP Address: Once Static IP is selected, the IP Address field will allow you to set the
bridge device IP address manually. This IP address of the bridge is used as the base
for all of your local network settings.
Subnet Mask: This is the subnet mask address for your bridge device. Set the IP
subnet mask manually.
Default Gateway: Set the default gateway IP address manually.
DNS 1 & 2: The Domain Name System (DNS) is describing how the Internet trans-
lates domain or website names onto Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will pro-
vide you at least one DNS Server IP Address. If you wish to use another, enter that IP
Address in DNS 2.
3.2.2.2 Spanning Tree Protocol
STP: The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a network protocol that ensures a loop-
free topology for any bridged Ethernet local area network. The basic function of STP
is to prevent bridge loops and ensuing broadcast radiation. Spanning tree also allows
a network design to include spare (redundant) links to provide automatic backup
paths if an active link fails, without the danger of bridge loops, or the need for manual
enabling/disabling of these backup links.
3.2.2.3 Ethernet Link Speed
Link: The link speed of Ethernet data port can be changed manually into 10/100 Half/
Full duplex.
