==Introduction==

Thanks to the dual Ethernet interface, SBC Lynx allows to implement non-trivial network configurations. As an example of this flexibility, this article shows how to configure SBC Lynx to implement a Linux-powered router that manages data packet forwarding between two different LANs. This task can be performed in parallel with the other application-specific activities (typically field bus communications, monitoring, control etc.). This solution allows to reduce significantly overall infrastructure costs in many industrial environments where Ethernet networking is popular nowadays.
