10.3 Interface Mode / Bridge Groups
In this menu, you define the operation mode for your device's interfaces.
Routing versus bridging
Bridging connects networks of the same type. In contrast to routing, bridges operate at lay-
er 2 of the OSI model (data link layer), are independent of higher-level protocols and trans-
mit data packets using MAC addresses. Data transmission is transparent, which means the
information contained in the data packets is not interpreted.
With routing, different networks are connected at layer 3 (network layer) of the OSI model
and information is routed from one network to the other.
Conventions for port/interface names
The name of the Ethernet port is made up of the following parts:
(a) ETH, where en stands for Ethernet
(b) Number of the port
