Chapter 1 Cisco SDM Express

LAN Interface Configuration

Interface/Bridge-to-Interface List

If the router has multiple LAN interfaces, the interfaces are displayed in this list. Select the LAN interface that you want to configure.

If the router has a wireless interface, and you clicked Yes in the Wireless Interface Configuration window, this list is labeled Bridge-to Interface. Select the interface to which you want to bridge wireless traffic.

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 wizard and restart the router, use this address to run Cisco SDM 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 connected.

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.
