Hello.
A newbie here.
By default I have all the ports bridged, including the one which I am using as WAN.
Should it be part of the bridge, as the rest is under DHCP server NAT-ed ?
But it's fair question. I'd say if you have one WAN connection with a single IP, and one (or limited number) of LAN(s), the WAN should NOT be in the bridge. You can use QuickSet, and be in a pretty good place for basic networking. The bridge would be for the LAN, or other client VLANs. ROS does routing for internet/WAN, and switching for LANs/VLANs.If you want to use as switch, yes.
If its for use as a router, no... but then need more info what you want to achieve...
Btw - what is the issue with quickset ? Since I used it, and now i am worried.Disagree, unless this is a wifi device where the choice of WISP vs AP vs something else has to be made.
If this is a router scenario, do not use quickset.
If this is a switch (no wifi) scenario no need to use quickset after selecting bridge (and even that is not really required)
