Configuring
Bridging for the
Remote Site
Connections
To set up a protocol over the WAN, a remote site profile must be created
and edited for each remote location you want to connect to. With this
profile, you specify virtual circuit (VPI, VCI) information, protocols, and
addresses that determine the method of connection and communication
to that remote site.
The steps you take to assign a network over the WAN are quite different
from those to assign a network over the LAN. First you add a remote site
profile, and then you modify the profile to enable bridging.
When the remote site connection is established, the bridge network will
come up over the WAN interface. The network and its status appears in
the
Monitor > Network > Network Status table.
If you need to connect to multiple remote sites, such as two remote
offices, set up a remote site profile for each remote location.
