11 Ethernet Interface Configuration
The function of the Ethernet interface (eth0) depends on the operating scheme that has been
selected (see section 8.2). In repeater mode, the Ethernet interface can be used to connect
client devices to the mesh neighborhood. In gateway mode, the Ethernet interface is used as a
backhaul interface that connects the mesh neighborhood to a WAN. Client devices cannot
connect through the Ethernet interface in this mode.

11.1 IP Configuration for Repeater Devices and Their Clients
When an EnRoute500 is configured as a repeater, client devices can connect to it via the
Ethernet interface to access the mesh network. These client devices can either be assigned
their IP configuration using DHCP, either by a centralized server or a local one on the
EnRoute500, or be manually configured.

Ethernet Client Device Address Space
When an EnRoute500 is in repeater mode, the Ethernet interface is either assigned a segment
of the EnRoute500’s class C client address space, if the EnRoute500 is using the implicit
addressing scheme, or an arbitrary address space can be set for the interface when using the
explicit addressing scheme. See section 9 for more information on client addressing schemes.
