Topic: Asus WL500GP Bridging between LAN and WAN

The content of this topic has been archived on 30 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hi,
I would like to bridge one or the 4 LAN ports to the WAN port.  This router provides a switch (only one MAC address for all LAN/WAN ports) and of course the WLAN MAC address for the wireless LAN.
How can I do it?  I need to bridge a device (using link layer) transparently via this router.
Can that be done?  Should I use bridge utils? ebtables?
Thanks
