Field Attributes
• Bridge – Sets the Gateway to function as a Layer-2 bridge, using only the physical
address stored in the packet’s source and destination address fields to pass traffic.
• Router – Sets the Gateway to function as a Layer-3 router, using a specific route
(that is, next hop) for each IP host or subnet that is statically configured or learned
through dynamic routing protocols.
The Gateway must reboot after each mode change. It takes about 60 seconds for
the router to reboot and start forwarding traffic on the LAN and WAN interfaces.
Also note that the menus provided by the Gateway differ for the bridge and router
operating modes as noted in Table 5-1, “Advanced Settings Menu,” on page 47.
• VLAN Enable – Enables VLANs. (Router mode only)
• Enable PPPOE Pass Through – Enables PPPoE Pass Through
