Bndging
By default, one bridge (brO) is defined and active. In this section you can define additional bridges and change the interface assignment according to your reąuirements.
Bonding
Bonding offers the ability to "bond" interfaces together. Bonding can be used to enhance throughput or provide failover capabilities.
Port Setup
The port setup section allows further configuration of the routers network interfaces. NetWork interfaces can be separated from the bridge and it is possible to assign separate network settings for each interface. If an interface is separated from the bridge, add routing rules to allow communication between the interface and the bridge or other unbridged interfaces.
EoIP (Ethernet over IP) tunnels can transport Ethernet data packages via a tunnel over existing IP connections. You can define up to 10 tunnels that can also be bonded.
2.3.2. Wireless
Each Wireless LAN interface has its own section in the wireless basie settings screen. The wireless interfaces are labelled athO and athO.l - ath0.4 depending on the number of radios installed. To correctly identify the antenna connectors, please compare the MAC addresses printed on the enclosure with the addresses displayed in the web interface.
Wireless Modę
This parameter is used to define the operating modę of the Wireless LAN interface. You can select among the following modes:
Modus |
Description |
AP |
WLAN Access Point modę (default) |
Client |
WLAN Client modę |
Client-Bridge |
Client-Bridge modę allows connecting to another Wireless LAN access point and establishing a network bridge with that access point |
Adhoc |
Adhoc operating modę, reąuired for building mesh networks |
WDS Station |
WDS Station is the Client in a WDS-AP <-> WDS station bridge. This is a special wireless networking modę that offers better flexibility and security than the classical MAC address based WDS. |
