IP router operatingmode requires each network interface to have a different subnet number assigned to it.The IP host operating mode allows the management of a device using IP applications (such as Telnetand SNMP) while operating as a bridge. IP host mode is useful in situations where segmenting anetwork into subnets is not desirable, but remote management is required. Bridging must beenabled before IP host mode is enabled.
