Bridge IP Address
The device can be set for static IP or can be set to obtain an IP address from the
connected DHCP server. One of the IP assignment modes must be selected:
connected DHCP server. One of the IP assignment modes must be selected:
• DHCP : choose this option to assign the dynamic IP address, Gateway and DNS
address by the local DHCP server.
• STATIC : choose this option to assign the static IP settings for the bridge
interface. Enter the IP address of the device. This IP will be used for device
management purposes.
management purposes.
IP Address and Netmask settings should correspond with the address space of the
network segment where device resides. If the device IP settings and administrator PC
IP settings use different address space, the device will become unreachable.

IP settings use different address space, the device will become unreachable.
Netmask
When expanded into binary, this value provides a mapping to define which portions of
the IP address groups can be classified as host devices and network devices. Netmask
defines the address space of the network segment where the device resides. Address
255.255.255.0 (or /24) is commonly used among many C Class IP networks.

Gateway IP
Typically, this is the IP address of the host router that provides the point of connection to
the internet. It can be a DSL modem, Cable modem, or a WISP gateway router. The
device will direct the packets of data to the gateway if the destination host is not within
the local network. THe Gateway IP address should be from same address space (on
same network segment) as the device.

Primary/Secondary DNS IP
The Domain Name System (DNS) is an internet "phone book" that translates domain
names to IP addresses. These fields identify the server IP addresses of where the
device looks for the translation source.

A Secondary DNS server IP address is optional. It is used as the fail-over in case the
primary DNS server becomes unresponsive.

Spanning Tree Protocol
Multiple interconnected bridges create larger networks using the IEEE 802.1d Spanning
Tree Protocol (STP), which is used for finding the shortest path within a network and to
eliminate loops from the topology.
Tree Protocol (STP), which is used for finding the shortest path within a network and to
eliminate loops from the topology.
If STP is turned on, the Bridge device will communicate with other network devices by
sending and receiving Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDU). STP should be turned off
(selected by default) when the device is the only bridge on the LAN or when there are
