Transparant bridge option
Bridge Mode – If set to Enable, this WAN port does not use NAT or the Load Balance function
when both the LAN and WAN have real IP addresses on the same network segment.
NetBIOS Broadcast – This function allows you to access files through Microsoft Network
Neighborhood if it is enabl
ed.
Traffic Management
Strict Binding: traffic from bridged hosts (eg. transparent to WAN 1) can only go
through that specified WAN(eg. WAN 1) interface.
Loose Binding: Traffic from bridge hosts (eg. transparent to WAN 1) can go
thru the alternative WAN (eg.WAN 2) interface when bind interface (eg. WAN 1) is
down, it acts like a fail over mechanism for transparent bridge mode.
Load Balancing: Traffic from bridge hosts (eg. transparent to WAN 1) can go thru either
WAN (eg. WAN 1 or WAN 2) interface based on loading mechanism specified in the load balance
section, it's acting like as a load balancing mechanism for transparent bridge mode.
ARP Table – the 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. View ARP
Tables displays ON/OFF for bridge mode on each WAN port. Clear ARP Tables disables
bridge mode on all WAN ports.
