2.4.2 Bridge Mode
The following screen displays when the ZyWALL is set to bridge mode. While in bridge
mode, the ZyWALL cannot get an IP address from a DHCP server. The LAN, WAN, DMZ and
WLAN interfaces all have the same (static) IP address and subnet mask. You can configure the
ZyWALL's IP address in order to access the ZyWALL for management. If you connect your
computer directly to the ZyWALL, you also need to assign your computer a static IP address in
the same subnet as the ZyWALL's IP address in order to access the ZyWALL.
The ZyWALL bridges traffic traveling between the ZyWALL's interfaces.
You can use the firewall in bridge mode (refer to the firewall chapters for details on
configuring the firewall).
Interface This is the port type.
Port types for a ZyWALL with multiple WAN ports are: WAN1, WAN2, Dial
Backup, LAN, WLAN and DMZ.
Port types for a ZyWALL with a single WAN port are: WAN, Dial Backup, LAN,
WLAN and DMZ.
Click "+" to expand or "-" to collapse the LAN, WLAN (when the wireless card is
part of the WLAN in the Port Roles screen), and DMZ IP alias drop-down lists.
Status For the LAN and DMZ ports, this displays the port speed and duplex setting.
For the WAN and Dial Backup ports, it displays the port speed and duplex setting
if you’re using Ethernet encapsulation and Down (line is down or not connected),
Idle (line (ppp) idle), Dial (starting to trigger a call) or Drop (dropping a call) if
you’re using PPPoE encapsulation.
For the WLAN port, it displays the transmission rate when a wireless LAN card is
inserted and WLAN is enabled or Down when a wireless LAN is not inserted or
WLAN is disabled.
IP Address This shows the port’s IP address.
Subnet Mask This shows the port’s subnet mask.
IP Assignment This shows the WAN port’s DHCP role - DHCP Client or Static.
This shows the LAN, WLAN or DMZ port’s DHCP role - DHCP Server, DHCP
Relay or Static.
This shows N/A for the Dial Backup port and the WLAN port when you set the
wireless card to be part of the DMZ or LAN in the Port Roles screen.
Renew If you are using Ethernet encapsulation and the WAN port is configured to get the
IP address automatically from the ISP, click Renew to release the WAN port’s
dynamically assigned IP address and get the IP address afresh. Click Dial to dial
up the PPTP, PPPoE or dial backup connection.
Show Statistics Click Show Statistics to see router performance statistics such as the number of
packets sent and number of packets received for each port, including WAN (or
WAN1, WAN2), Dial Backup, LAN, WLAN and DMZ.
Show DHCP Table Click Show DHCP Table to show current DHCP client information.
