Black Box LES1308A Server User Manual


 
Select Enable Bridging on the System: IP General Settings menu.
Select Bridge Interfaces or Bond Interfaces
o When bridging is enabled, network traffic is forwarded across all Ethernet ports with no
firewall restrictions. All the Ethernet ports are all transparently connected at the data
link layer (layer 2) so they do retain their unique MAC addresses.
o With bonding the network traffic is carried between the ports but they present with one
MAC address.
o Both modes remove all the Management LAN Interface and Out-of-Band/Failover
Interface functions and disable the DHCP Server .
o All the Ethernet ports are all transparently connected at the data link layer (layer 2) and
they are configured collectively using the Network Interface menu.
3.6.5 Static routes
Static routes provide a very quick way to route data from one subnet to different subnet. So you can hard
code a path that specifies to the console server to get to a certain subnet by using a certain path. This
may be useful for remotely accessing various subnets at a remote site when being accessed using the
cellular out of band connection.
