Particular properties of the logical interfaces are defined in the port table.
LANconfig: Interfaces / LAN / Port table
WEBconfig: LCOS menu tree / Setup / LAN Bridge / Port Data
- Active This option activates or deactivates the logical interface.
- Bridge group
Assigns the logical interface to a bridge group to enable bridging from/to
this logical interface via the LAN bridge. If assigned to a common bridge
group, several logical interfaces can be addressed at once and they appear
to the LANCOM Router to be a single interface. This can then be used
for Advanced Routing and Forwarding, for example.
If the interface is removed from all bridge groups by setting 'none',
then there is no communication between the LAN and WLAN via the LAN bridge
(isolated mode). With this setting, LAN/WLAN data transfers over this
interface are only possible via the router.
Note: A requirement for data transfer from/to a logical interface via the LAN bridge is the deactivation of the global "isolated mode" which applies to the whole of the LAN bridge. Furthermore, the logical interface must be assigned to a bridge group. With the setting 'none', no transfers can be made via the LAN bridge.
- Priority Sets the priority for the logical interface where the spanning-tree protocol is being used. Where multiple connections are available, the interface with the highest priority is used. The smaller the value, the higher the priority. If priorities are the same then the interface with lower transmission fees is chosen or, alternatively, the interface which is highest in the table.
- DHCP limit Number of clients which can be handled by DHCP. If the limit is exceeded, the oldest entry is dropped. This feature can be used in combination with the protocol filer table to limit access to just one logical interface.
