Bridging IP Traffic
By default the OfficeConnect Gateway is set up to route IP traffic. To bridge IP
traffic you must turn off IP Forwarding.
IP Forwarding refers to the routing of IP packets from one interface to another. It
does not affect communicating to the OfficeConnect Gateway itself. Even when IP
Forwarding is disabled, you can perform non-routing functions such as using a
Web browser to manage the OfficeConnect Gateway and using PING.
