Abstract:
A method is provided for automatically determining in which data forwarding mode a network device should operate. Also, other settings for operation of the device may be automatically determined. These modes and settings may be selected based on one or more attributes of the network to which the device is connected. In one example, the network device includes a wired network interface and a wireless network interface. The device may be capable of operating in a routing, bridging, or repeating mode. The network device may select a forwarding mode based on attributes of the network that are detected or otherwise received by the network device.
