2.2.5 Bridge 
 
The bridge mode screen allows you to set your Broadband router to bridge mode and allows you 
to assign an IP address for management purposes. When the bridge mode is selected, the router 
in effect becomes a switch, transferring packets from the WAN port to the LAN port and vice 
versa without any NAT involvement. In bridge mode, the original WAN MAC is ignored, and the 
original LAN MAC address will be used as the MAC address. These values will be restored when 
you set the device to operating modes other than the bridge mode.
