Bridge mode physical connections

I've seen several posts about setting up the SF XG in L2 transparent bridge including the official artical below.  I have a Comcast modem, a Ubiquiti Edgerouter X and a LAN switch that I'd like to incorporate this into.  My question is, what does the physical connections look like in terms of the LAN/WAN ports on the SF.  Do I connect the SF LAN port to my switch and the WAN port to the ERX as the only connection to it?  Or do I connect both LAN/WAN ports to the ERX?

  • Hi Devon,

    what advantage do you see by keeping the edge router in service?

    In bridge mode you connect one port (WAN) of the XG to the edge router and the other port (LAN) to  the switch.

  • Thanks, that did the trick.  Working now!  I mainly wanted a setup where I didn't have to change the setup.  Also, my Edgerouter is providing POE access to a Ubiquiti AP.

  • Hi Devon,

    the AP is not protected by the XG which seems a bit at odds as to why you would install an XG.

    Why not move the edgerouter inside the XG and have the XG in routing mode to provide all your network devices with protection?
