Bridging Configuration
This chapter shows you how to configure the Bridging options for
the Prestige. Depending on your particular applications, you will
need to configure different menus. We will illustrate the
configuration for some applications in the following sections.
IPX Spoofing
The Prestige comes with several pre-defined call filters designed to
prevent certain IPX packets from triggering a call to a Remote
Node. These filters should inform your Prestige which packets
should be ignored as traffic.
When you are bridging IPX packets, the default call filters are
defined as follows:
Block periodical SAP and RIP response messages.
Block SAP and RIP inquiry packets if set to Handle IPX as
Server.
Allow SAP and RIP inquiry packets if set to Handle IPX as
Client or None.
These call filters prevent the Prestige from making a call to the
Remote Node, thus preventing the expense of an unnecessary
phone call.
