5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time
This chapter describes how to configure basic settings on your bridge for the first time. The contents
of this chapter are similar to the instructions in the quick start guide that shipped with your bridge.
You can configure all the settings described in this chapter using the command-line interface (CLI), but
it might be simplest to browse to the bridge’s web-browser interface to complete the initial
configuration and then use the CLI to enter additional settings for a more detailed configuration.
