Bridging LAN and WAN ethernet on Linksys BEFW11S4 v.4 (Firmware Version: 1.52.02)

01-23-2007, 04:55 PM

I'd like to bridge the LAN (switch) and WAN ethernet interfaces on my
BEFW11S4. Is this possible? In effect, I'd like to use the WAN port
as an uplink to another switch.

Thanks!

You would typically uplink these by connecting one of the rtr's eth ports
to one port on the other switch.

Crossover-cable vs. straight-thru depends on hardware.
