Layer 2 Bridging

When this check box is unchecked, traffic between local and remote networks will be IP

forwarded.

To bridge the Ethernet network of an Ethernet port on a local and remote network, select

this check box. When this check box is selected, the two networks will become a single

LAN, and any broadcast (e.g., ARP requests) or multicast traffic (e.g., Bonjour) will be sent

over the VPN.

The L2 bridging feature is hidden from the user interface by default. To enable this feature,

user has to click the hidden link at the upper right corner of the SpeedFusion

Profile table.

Bridge port

This field specifies the port to be bridged to the remote site.

If you choose WAN X (internal: replace the X by the WAN port number) that WAN will be

disabled for WAN purposes. Instead, the WAN port will be dedicated to bridging with the

remote site. The LAN port will remain unchanged.

VLAN Tagging

This field specifies the VLAN ID with which the VPN's traffic should be tagged before

sending the traffic to the bridge port. If no VLAN tagging is needed, select No VLAN. To

define a new VLAN ID, click New... and input the VLAN ID. VLAN IDs that are not

referenced by any VPN profiles will be removed from the list automatically. Default: No

VLAN

STP

Checking this box enables Spanning Tree Protocol.

Default: Unchecked.

Preserve LAN

Settings Upon

Connected

The LAN port is chosen as the bridge port. Selecting this option preserves LAN settings

(e.g., LAN port IP address, DHCP server, etc.) when the Layer 2 VPN is connected.

Uncheck this option if the LAN IP address and gateway will use remote LAN settings.

Check this option if the LAN IP address and local DHCP server should remain unchanged

after the VPN is up.

If you choose not to preserve LAN settings when the VPN is connected, the device will not

act as a router, and most Layer 3 routing functions will cease to work.

WAN Connection Priority

WAN Connection

Priority

You can specify the priority of the WAN connections to be used for making VPN

connections. WAN connections set to OFF will never be used. Only available WAN

connections with the highest priority will be utilized.
