Edit-Unit-Interface-Terrestrial-IP Mode Screen
Options:
Bridge mode
Select this mode for ordinary Ethernet over satellite bridging, i.e. point-to-
point systems. In this mode, the Ethernet bridge builds up bridging
information based on the replies it receives back, allowing it to ascertain
which network segments devices are located on.
Routing mode
IP packets are forwarded based on the contents of the modem’s routing
table. The routing table can be populated by manually entering routes
and/or by turning on one (or more) of the supported dynamic routing
protocols. The dynamic routing protocols enable the modem to
automatically populate the routing table based on information forwarded by
other routers in the network. The modem operates as a two port router in
this mode. See the TCP/IP white paper at
http://www.paradisedata.com//whitepapers.php
for more details.
