Webfig RouterBoard RB751U-2HnD while in Bridge Mode

[ckwilcox]

Hi there, I suspect that this is a very noobie question, but I can’t seem to figure this out.

I connected my Routerboard RB751U-2HnD to my network and using Webfig and Quickset enabled “bridge” mode. This apparently makes the unit act like a switch.

But now that it’s acting as a switch it no longer has an IP address! So I can’t access Webfig anymore! Am I missing something here? Perhaps I dont fully what bridge mode is? Is webfig inaccessible while the unit is in “bridge” mode?

Most importantly, how do I make configuration changes to my Routerboard!?

Thanks a lot in advance!

You have to put an IP address on the bridge itself, not the individual port, then you can access it.

For now, use mac winbox to access it and make the change.
