TDM-E400 / TDM-C400 ADSL2+ Ethernet Modem Router User's Manual Scenario 2: Bridged Connection to ISP In this configuration, your ISP requires you to configure a bridged Internet connection. For a bridged internet connection, the WAN interface must be bridge-enabled. The configuration would have these features: f A bridge-enabled EoA WAN interface. Bridged IP connections must use an EoA-type WAN interface. An IP address may or may not be specified for the interface. Note that even when the device communicates with your ISP as a bridge, its Ethernet interface must remain IPenabled to allow you access to the Web Configuration program through your Web browser. The Ethernet Modem Router can also continue to provide certain IP-based services to your LAN such as DHCP server and DNS relay. f Both the LAN (eth-0 and/or usb-0) and the WAN interfaces (eoa-0) are enabled for bridging. See "Making Interfaces Bridgeable (Bridge-Enabled)" on page 79. f The bridging service is enabled. See "Enabling Bridging Mode" on page 80. f The ISP should provide setup instructions for the LAN PC(s), which may involve installing software to enable logging in to their servers (called a "PPPoE client"). The PC's gateway IP address should be configured as the IP address of the ISPs access server. In the System View page in the Home tab, the Mode field will reflect Routing and Bridging. Although you are exclusively using a bridging connection to your ISP, the device recognizes at least one IPenabled interface (eth-0), and therefore regards the device as capable of both routing and bridging. 82
