2.4.2 Bridge Mode
The following screen displays when the ZyWALL is set to bridge mode. While in bridge
mode, the ZyWALL cannot get an IP address from a DHCP server. The LAN, WAN, DMZ
and WLAN interfaces all have the same (static) IP address and subnet mask. You can
configure the ZyWALL's IP address in order to access the ZyWALL for management. If you
connect your computer directly to the ZyWALL, you also need to assign your computer a
static IP address in the same subnet as the ZyWALL's IP address in order to access the
ZyWALL.
The ZyWALL bridges traffic traveling between the ZyWALL's interfaces.
You can use the firewall in bridge mode (refer to Chapter 10 on page 163 for details on
configuring the firewall).
Subnet Mask This shows the port’s subnet mask.
DHCP This shows the WAN port’s DHCP role - Client or None.
This shows the LAN port’s DHCP role - Server, Relay or None.
Renew If you are using Ethernet encapsulation and the WAN port is configured to get the IP
address automatically from the ISP, click Renew to release the WAN port’s
dynamically assigned IP address and get the IP address afresh. Click Dial to dial up
the PPTP, PPPoE or dial backup connection.
Show Statistics Click Show Statistics to see router performance statistics such as the number of
packets sent and number of packets received for each port, including WAN, Dial
Backup, LAN, WLAN and DMZ.
