What are the rules for setting IP addresses for network bridge devices?
Since bridges link physically separated parts of the same network, bridges must be assigned addresses in the same network segment as the devices they connect. For example, if computers in the bridged segments have IP addresses in the 192.168.1.X range, the bridge devices would also be assigned in that range. We recommend assigning static IP addresses to any network infrastructure devices. Make sure the addresses are outside the range of addresses assigned by your LAN’s DHCP server.
