10. Do one of the following:
• To bridge the LAN and WLAN networks so that they appear as a single
unified network, click Bridge Mode.
Traffic from the WLAN to the LAN will be allowed to pass freely, and the LAN
and WLAN will share a single IP address range.
Note: This option creates a bridge called "default-bridge", which includes the WLAN
and the LAN. If desired, you can later remove this bridge by running the Wireless
Configuration Wizard again, and choosing Firewall Mode. For information on bridges,
see Using Bridges on page
139.
• To isolate the LAN from the WLAN, click Firewall Mode.
The WLAN and LAN will be assigned separate, isolated IP networks, and traffic
from the WLAN to the LAN will be subjected to the defined firewall policy.
By default, traffic from the WLAN to the LAN will be blocked, and traffic from
the LAN to the WLAN will be allowed. To allow traffic from the WLAN to the
LAN, you must create firewall rules. For information, see Using Firewall Rules
