SPA8800 Firmware - Bridge/Switch mode

mh · ‎09-12-2009

My SPA8800 has firmware 6.1.7 (GW). The Quick Start Guide lists an IVR Action # 201 for setting the device mode for Router/NAT or Bridge/Switch. The IVR however reports this option to be invalid. Web interface does not have the option either. I would like to use the Bridge/Switch mode. Will this require a firmware update or have I missed something configuration wise ? Where do I find the required firmware update ?

Dear Sir;

SPA8800 is a client device. The LAN port cannot be used other than for Admin purposes, and it is set in NAT mode (should not be changed). I will ask the documentation team to have a look and potentially correct the document to remove this option from the documentation.

Thanks for highlighting this issue and helping us to make better products.

Regards
Alberto

Hi mh@mhc.dk,

Thanks for letting us know about the documentation error.

We've revised the SPA8800 Quick Start Guide. The updated version is available here:

I have also linked to it from the Community's ATA documentation page: https://www.myciscocommunity.com/docs/DOC-2149

Regards,

Patrick
