Interface/Bridge-to-Interface List
If the router has multiple LAN interfaces, the interfaces are displayed in this list.

If the router has a wireless interface, and you clicked Ye s in the Wireless Interface
Configuration window, this list is labeled Bridge-to Interface. Select the interface

IP Address Field
Enter the IP address for the LAN interface in dotted-decimal format. This can be
a private IP address if you intend to use Network Address Translation (NAT) or
Port Address Translation (PAT).
Note Make a note of this address. When you complete the Cisco SDM Express wiz ard
and restart the router, use this address to run CiscoSDM Express. Do not use the
address that was provided in the Quick Start Guide for the router.
Subnet Mask Field
Enter the subnet mask for the network. Obtain this value from your network
administrator or service provider. The subnet mask enables the router to
determine how much of the IP address is used to define the network and subnet
portion of the address. The value of the subnet mask also determines the number
of hosts that can be on the LAN to which this router is conn ected.
Subnet Bits Field
Alternatively, enter the number of bits used to define the network and subnet
portion of the IP address. Your network administrator or service provider may
provide the subnet mask information in this form.
Wireless Parameters Fields
During initial configuration, these fields appear if the router has a wireless
interface and you clicked Yes in the Wireless Interface Configuration window. If
you are editing a configuration, these fields will appear if you made wireless
settings during initial configuration. Wireless traffic will be bridged to this LAN
interface.
