88 Bridging Configuration
Bridge Ethernet Setup
Bridging is used to forward packets of unsupported protocols
whose destination is not on the local Ethernet to the WAN.
Basically, all non-local packets are bridged to the WAN, however,
the Prestige applies a special handling for certain IPX packets to
reduce the number of calls, depending on the setting of the
“Handle IPX” field”.
• If it is set to None, nothing is done to IPX traffic.
• If it is set to Client, all RIP and SAP (Service Advertising
Protocol) periodical response packets will not trigger the call.
• If it is set to Server, no RIP or SAP packets will trigger the
call. In addition, during the time when the ISDN line is down,
the Prestige will reply to the servers watchdog messages on
behalf of remote clients. The period of time that the Prestige
will do this is linked to the
Ethernet Address Timeout
parameter in each Remote Node (see Chapter 5). When a
remote Ethernet address is aged out, there is no need to
maintain its connection to the IPX server.
