I have (2) ITUS Shields.  Both have been updated to 1.51SP1.  One has had hotfix 16201 (the bridge hotfix) applied.

In both cases, in bridge mode, the Shield will pass Internet traffic after being plugged in for about 5-10 minutes.  However, it will not allow LAN access to the Shield appliance itself via HTTPS or SSH.  It is *not* leasing an IP address on my network, nor does it appear at x.x.x.111.

There's no point in having an inline IDS if I can't check the logs for alerts.

Strangely enough, Router mode works just fine and the device can be reached at 10.10.10.10, but the whole reason I bought the device was to use it in Bridge mode, as an inline IDS.

Is there some way to set the LAN IP of the device in Router mode so that it persists when I switch over to Bridge mode?  Or, is there any way to just use the device in router mode, as an inline IDS, without causing interference with my existing router (Ubiquiti ERL)?

Are there any bridge mode users here that have come up with a clever solution?  Or did it just work out of the box for you?
