Bridge

The PremierWave 2050 gateway bridge bridges traffic between an Ethernet and WLAN interface. For example, br0 is a bridge between eth0 and wlan0. For USB RNDIS interface, USB 1 must be configured as an Ethernet device.

When a bridge is enabled, the Wired (eth0) Network configuration is used for configuring direct connections into the device over the primary interface; the Wireless (wlan0) Network configuration is ignored. Both the Ethernet and WLAN link configurations are used the same as when the bridge is disabled.

Bridging MAC Address specifies the MAC address of bridgeable traffic between the Ethernet and WLAN interfaces. When bridging is active, this MAC Address will be used as the MAC address of the WLAN interface. Packets received on the Ethernet interface from this address will be bridged to the WLAN interface (except traffic directed at the Primary Interface). If this field is not configured, then the device waits for the first packet to arrive on the Ethernet interface and uses the source address as the bridging address.

Bridging IP Address specifies the IP address of the bridged client.

When bridging is active, this IP Address will be used to create a static route between this device and the bridged client.

This route is required for connecting to the bridged client from devices connected via the access point network and from this device.

5: Network Settings

If Auto Detect IP Address is enabled, then the device will attempt to learn the IP Address by using the source or destination IP address of packets arriving on the Ethernet interface.

Warning: Enabling Auto Detect IP Address may affect the performance of running

processes during the learning phase.

During initialization, the bridging subsystem enables and controls both eth0 and wlan0 networks. These are important aspects to keep in mind:

 If the eth0 physical link is inactive, wlan0 is the primary interface.

 If the eth0 physical link is active, eth0 is the primary interface.

When the eth0 link is active, the wlan0 link is established. Additionally, the bridging MAC address is acquired using preconfiguration or auto-detection, and bridging enters the Active state. If either link goes down, bridging reverts to the Inactive state.

When in the Active state, all packets that arrive on the wlan0 interface are bridged out (through) the eth0 interface. Similarly, all packets that arrive on the eth0 interface are bridged out (through) the wlan0 interface. However, exceptions to this behavior include:

 Ethernet packets directed specifically to the Ethernet (eth0) MAC address are terminated

internally and are not bridged to WLAN.

 An ARP request for the primary interface IP address is terminated internally and is not bridged

to the WLAN.

Ethernet packets that do not originate from the bridging MAC Address are discarded.

Bridge Status and Configuration

View-only status information on the Bridge1 (br0) Status page displays whether bridging is currently enabled, active, and the following (if any): Ethernet link, WLAN link, primary interface, bridging MAC, Ethernet MAC, WLAN MAC, bridging IP address, and bridging IPv6 address.

Bridge Fields Description

State Select to enable or disable bridging. When a bridge is Enabled, the Ethernet

Network Interface Configuration is used for configuring direct connections into the device over the primary Interface. The WLAN Network Interface Configuration is ignored. Both the Ethernet and WLAN Link Configurations are used the same as when the bridge is disabled. In Bridge Statistics:

 Enable State shows whether the bridge is currently enabled. If the state is

changed, it will not be reflected here until the next reboot.

 Active State shows the current state of the bridge. The bridge may be

Active or Inactive, depending on the state of the bridge and the physical links.

Transparent Mode Select to enable or disable transparent mode.

 If Enabled, the PremierWave 2050 gateway bridge can no longer be

accessed via telnet or web manager from a PC and is invisible to the network.

 If Disabled, the PremierWave 2050 gateway bridge will be accessible to a

PC on the network via telnet or Web Manager.

Transparent Mode Select to enable or disable transparent mode.

 If Enabled, the PremierWave 2050 can no longer be accessed via telnet or

web manager from a PC and is invisible to the network.

 If Disabled the PremierWave 2050 will be accessible to a PC on the

network via telnet or Web Manager.

Bridging MAC Address Enter the bridging MAC address which specifies the MAC address of

bridgeable traffic between the Ethernet and WLAN interfaces. When bridging is active, this MAC Address will be used as the MAC address of the WLAN interface. Packets received on the Ethernet interface from this address will be bridged to the WLAN interface (except traffic directed at the primary interface). If this field is not configured, then the device waits for the first packet to arrive on the Ethernet interface and uses the source address as the bridging address.

Bridging IP Address Enter the bridging IP address which specifies the IP address of the bridged

client. When bridging is active, this IP address will be used to create a static route between this device and the bridged client. This route is required for connecting to the bridged client from devices connected via the access point network and from this device.

Auto Detect IPv5 Address Select to enable or disable auto-detection of the bridged client’s IP address.

Auto Detect IPv4 Address Select to enable or disable auto detection of IPv4 addresses. If enabled, the

degvice will attempt to learn the ip addresses by using teh source or destination IP address of packets arriving on the Ethernet interface.

Warning: This may affect the performance of running processes

during the learning phase.

Bridging IPv6 Address Enter the bridging IPv6 address.
