U-verse Platform Gateways (RG’s) –

Do Not Have a Bridge Mode.

As mentioned earlier in the document the Firewall is never completely out of the

picture. Configurations can be made to allow much of the behavior typically

needed when using a bridge mode but there may be some limitations for those

with more advanced needs.

Those limitations can mostly be overcome once the user understands this and is

willing / able to adapt how things on the LAN are configured and update. What

can be done is based on the need such as Basic service using DMZplus or Static IP

service.

For those needing 3

party routers and or firewall devices between the RG and

their network it is better for the U-verse Platform RG’s to leave the Firewall

enabled and to create pinholes for the traffic that is expected / required to be

used. This especially applies to any traffic that could or would be initiated from

the WAN side such as a remote location. It is also recommended when applicable

to use DHCP IP assignment to the 3

party Router or Firewall for its connection.
