2.6 Ethernet Bridge Configuration

In the Ethernet bridge configuration, the modem bridges data between the local

Ethernet LAN and the service provider. The ADSL link must be set up in RFC1483

mode with a PVC to communicate across. The PVC is assigned by the service

provider. The bridge needs to be told about both the Ethernet interface and the

1483 interface. Since the modem is transparent, the PC’s default gateway must

be set to the service provider’s IP address.

The following configuration must be performed to set up the modem for bridge

mode:

•

••

• Add the Ethernet device to the bridge:

bridge device add edd

• Add the ADSL ATM port to the bridge with RFC 1483 enabled:

bridge device add //bun/port=atm/txvci=32/rxvci=32/txvpi=0/rxvpi=0/rfc1483=true

•

••

• Save the configuration and reboot the system:

config save

restart
