Set Up a VLAN IPTV Bridge for a Port Group or VLAN Tag
Group
Some devices, such as an IPTV, cannot function behind the modem router's network address translation
(NAT) service or firewall. Based on what your Internet service provider (ISP) requires, for the device to
connect to the ISP's network directly, you can enable a bridge between the device and the modem router's
Internet port or add new VLAN tag groups to the bridge.
The VLAN IPTV bridge feature and Ethernet port aggregation are mutually exclusive. If you need to set up a
VLAN IPTV bridge, disable Ethernet port aggregation (see
Aggregation on page 165).
