Source address learning
If Local Packet Filtering is enabled, the PTP 670 learns the location of end stations from the
source addresses in received management frames. The management agent filters transmitted
management frames to ensure that each frame is transmitted at the appropriate Ethernet port,
or over the wireless link as required to reach the correct end station. If the end station address
is unknown, then management traffic is transmitted at each of Ethernet port enabled for
management and over the wireless link.

IPv6
The PTP 670 management agent supports the following IPv6 features:
Neighbor discovery
PTP 670 supports neighbor discovery for IPv6 as specified in RFC 4861 including:
•
Neighbor un-reachability detection (NUD),
•
Sending and receiving of neighbor solicitation (NS) and neighbor advertisement (NA)
messages,
•
Processing of redirect functionality.
PTP 670 sends router solicitations, but does not process router advertisements.
Path MTU discovery and packet size
PTP 670 supports path MTU discovery as specified in RFC 1981, and packet fragmentation and
reassembly as specified in RFC 2460 and RFC 5722.
