to/from the WAN.

IP packets to/from the WAN.
Bridge Broadcast is only valid if one of the Virtual Channels is configured for
Bridge mode.
Bridge Multicast Factory Default = Enabled
When this setting is disabled, the Router will block Multicast IP packets
to/from the WAN.
When this setting is enabled, the Router will allow Multicast IP packets
to/from the WAN.
Bridge Multicast is only valid if one of the Virtual Channels is configured for

Spanning Tree Protocol Factory Default = Disabled
Spanning Tree Protocol is a link management protocol that provides path
redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For Ethernet
network to function properly, only one active path can exist between two
stations.
When enabled, two bridges are used to interconnect the same two computer
network segments. Spanning Tree Protocol will allow the bridges to exchange
information so that only one of them will handle a given message that is being
sent between two computers within the network.
