Configuring the Primary Bridge Interface
The primary bridge interface is connected to your existing
Internet gateway device. The only step involved in setting up
your primary bridge interface is to ensure that the WAN
interface is configured for a static IP address. You will need this
static IP address when configuring the secondary bridge.
Note that the primary bridge interface must have a static IP
assignment.
