Transparent Bridge
Option (for all
interface)
• Traffic Management – Strict binding: Traffic from bridge hosts
(eg. transparent to WAN1) can only go through that a specified
WAN (eg. WAN1) interface. Loose binding: Traffic from bridge
hosts (eg. transparent to WAN1) can go through an alternative
WAN (eg. WAN2) interface when binded interface (eg. WAN1) is
down. It acts like a failover mechanism for Transparent Bridge
mode. Load Balancing: Traffic from bridge hosts (eg. transparent
to WAN1) can go through either WAN (eg. WAN1 or WAN2)
interface based on the loading mechanism specified in the Load
Balance section. It acts like a load balancing mechanism for
Transparent Bridge mode. No IP Translation: When Bridge mode
is set to Loose binding or Load Balancing, traffic from bridge hosts
(eg. transparent to WAN1) can go through an alternative WAN (eg.
WAN2) interface with its original IP (if checked) or with an
alternative WAN IP (if unchecked). That is, NAT is performed.
• ARP Table – ARP Table is used by the device to determine the
bridge hosts location (eg. inside/outside WAN and which WAN). Its
size can be adjusted if needed.
