LB2120 - Bridge Mode Issues

One other FYI about the LB2120's quirky bridge mode is that you can't manage the LB2120 from the WAN port, even in bridge mode.  As a workaround, I set up the raspberry pi that's connected to the LB2120's LAN port as a web proxy.

The kludgy way I did this was to create an SSH putty session to the raspberry pi that has tunnelling enabled.  Of course, for this to work the device connected on the LB2120's LAN port (eg my raspberry pi) must have SSH enabled. 

In the putty configuration window, set the IP to the device connected to the LAN port (192.168.1.20 in my case).  Next, still in putty, go to Connection->SSH->Tunnels and add a new forwarded port with Port set to 1234 and the "Dynamic" radio button pressed (leave destination blank). Click Add and then click the session category (on the left) and save the configuration.

Whenever you want to manage the LB2120, start an SSH session to the device connected to the LB2120's LAN port using the parameters you just saved and login to the device.  Next, go to your web browser and set up a manual proxy with the SOCKS host set to 127.0.0.1, the port set to 1234, and SOCKS version set to SOCKS v5.   

Now you can enter the IP address that you statically assigned to your LB2120 into your web browser to manage it (in my case, 192.168.1.200).  This only works while the SSH session is active and also remember to turn off the proxy once you're done managing the LB2120.
