Configuring Other Devices

The configuration options for all other devices are relatively simple. In general, you can change their display names in their global settings sub-panel and make basic settings on each interface.

Bridges

A bridge is basically a simplified two-port switch. It does not have VLAN or trunking functions. The available settings for its two Ethernet ports are Port Status, Bandwidth, and Duplex.

Repeaters

A repeater is a simple two-port device that regenerates the signal it receives on one port and forwards it out the other port. Its port settings cannot be modified.

Hubs

A hub is a multiport repeater that regenerates the signal it receives on one port and forwards it out all other ports except the incoming port. Its port settings cannot be modified.
