Bridge Modus

  • Good morning everyone,

    Is there any router at Siwsscom that can be operated in bridge mode?

    Depending on the access technology (fiber / copper), you can get a corresponding device on the open market as long as it is on the following list:

    By the way: you already asked the question >1 year ago [https://community.swisscom.ch/t5/Router-Hardware/Welches-Modem-unterst%C3%BCtzt-den-Bridgemodus/m-p/ 713003)

    The answer will remain the same for the time being - unless it snows black at some point

    Hi @Frostelu87

    At this point I would like to mention that the lack of bridge mode would not prevent you from running your own hardware behind an Internet box.

    Using “DMZ” mode, all incoming traffic is forwarded to a device of your choice. (similar to the IP passthrough on the Centro Business, if you know that)

    The only “unattractive” thing would be a private IP on the WAN interface of your hardware. But I operate my pfSense without any problems (including SIP and game consoles etc.).
