The 'Configuration' tab
n
In Bridge Configuration, select the networks you want to be part of the bridge.
n
Enable Spanning Tree Protocol - When Spanning Tree Protocol (STP - IEEE 802.1d) is
enabled, each bridge communicates with its neighboring bridges or switches to discover
how they are interconnected. This information is then used to eliminate loops, while
providing optimal routing of packets. STP also uses this information to provide fault
tolerance, by re-computing the topology in the event that a bridge or a network link fails.
n
Enter a Name for the bridge interface. Note that you can only enter "brN" where N is a
number between 0 and 9. For example, br2.
n
Select the IP address and Subnet mask.
n
Use Hotspot - Select this checkbox to redirect users to the Hotspot portal before
allowing access from this interface. Hotspot configuration is defined in the Device >
Hotspot page.
n
DHCP Server
Select one of the options:
l
Enabled - Enter the IP address range and if necessary the IP address exclude
range. The appliance's own IP address is automatically excluded from this range.
You can also exclude or reserve specific IP addresses by defining network objects
in the Users & Objects > Network Objects page. Reserving specific IP addresses
requires the MAC address of the device.
l
Relay - Enter the DHCP server IP address.
l
Disabled
