♦
Supports up to 8 PVCs (UBR, CBR, VBR).
♦
Multiple Protocols over AAL5 (RFC 1483).
♦
PPP over AAL5 (RFC 2364).
♦
PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516).
DHCP Support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows individual clients (computers) to obtain
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The BIPAC-5100/5100W has
built-in DHCP server capability enabled by default. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default
gateway and DNS servers to DHCP clients. The BIPAC-5100/5100W can now also act as a
surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual
real DHCP server to the clients.
IP Alias
IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same Ethernet
interface. The BIPAC-5100/5100W supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical
Ethernet interface with the BIPAC-5100/5100W itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
IP Policy Routing (IPPR)
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the router takes the shortest
path to forward a packet. IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides a mechanism to override the
default routing behavior and alter the packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the
network administrator.

Networking Compatibility
The BIPAC-5100/5100W is compatible with major ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line
Access Multiplexer) providers.
Multiplexing
The BIPAC-5100/5100W supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
Encapsulation
The BIPAC-5100/5100W series supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer
