Bridge Mode or ‘True Bridge Mode’
With bridged devices the “Public” IP is announced directly to the customer owned managed Firewall or Router versus a Private IP (10.1.10.X or 192.168.1.X, etc.).
If you want to use ‘true bridge mode’, please note the following characteristics of devices in bridge mode:
- Does not have router capabilities or support LAN DHCP
- Cannot have a fixed Static IP assignment
