1. Scope of the work

To disable router mode and enable brigdemode in BPIR4 Router. It means, by default device will be in router mode. Once changed to bridge mode, Private WIFI will stop its broadcasting, Ethernet Client should get public IP address (in erouter series) and Wireless client will lose its connection to private WIFI.

2. Target Audience

RDK-B Operators
RDK-B SoC Vendors
RDK-B OEM's
RDK-B Application Vendors
RDK-B System Integrators

3. High level Code Flow Design

1 During boot-up

4. Supported device

Bananapi R4 Device.

6. TR-181 Data Model Parameter of Bridge Mode


CcspPandM	Device.X_CISCO_COM_DeviceControl.LanManagementEntry.1.LanMode	bridge-static	To disable router mode functionalities and enable bridge mode functionalities in RPI Router. It means ,Private WIFI will stop its broadcasting, Ethernet Client should get public IP address (in erouter series) and Wireless client will lose its connection to private WIFI.
CcspPandM	Device.X_CISCO_COM_DeviceControl.LanManagementEntry.1.LanMode	router	Change from bridge mode to router mode and verify basic functionality is working fine like internet connectivity for wifi and ethernet clients and also verify admin ui page is accessible.

7. Test Procedure

7.1. Enabling BridgeMode via dmcli

To enable bridge mode run the following dmcli commands,

dmcli eRT getv Device.X_CISCO_COM_DeviceControl.LanManagementEntry.1.LanMode
dmcli eRT setv Device.X_CISCO_COM_DeviceControl.LanManagementEntry.1.LanMode string bridge-static

Once the BPI is in bridge-mode, below test cases are needs to be passed,

brlan0 will lose IP address
A new bridge is created lan0(interface link llan0) which will have 10.0.0.1 ip address
Private WiFi should stops broadcasting
Ethernet (lan) clients should get Public IP address(i,e in erouter ip series)
Verify whether the admin UI page is accessible by using 10.0.0.1 ip in ethernet client device
Changing from bridgemode to router mode and verify basic functionalities are working fine like Private WiFi should be broadcasted, able to get ip & internet access for wifi and lan clients and admin UI also accessible in connected clients.
