Set Up a Bridge for a Port Group or VLAN Tag Group

Some devices, such as an IPTV, cannot function behind the modem router's network address
translation (NAT) service or firewall. Based on what your Internet service provider (ISP)
requires, for the device to connect to the ISP's network directly, you can enable the bridge
between the device and the modem router's Internet port or add new VLAN tag groups to the
bridge.
Note: If your ISP provides directions on how to set up a bridge for IPTV and
Internet service, follow those directions.

Set Up a Bridge for a Port Group

If the devices that are connected to the modem 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 on
interface WAN1.
A bridge with a port group prevents packets that are sent between the IPTV device and the
modem router's Internet port from being processed through the modem router's network
address translation (NAT) service.

network.
