Bridging Setup

Bridge Setup

Each SPEEDLAN brouter contains an IEEE 802.3 MAC-layer bridging engine. The bridge can be 
configured to filter or pass any 802.3 frame type protocols, including Novell IPX, TCP/IP, AppleTalk, 
etc. The brouter can also be configured to filter packets by their destination and origin. This is done 
using the unique MAC (Media Access Control) addresses that all network interface devices have 
assigned to them at the factory. 

Bridge Setup

 is accessed from the main 

Setup

 menu of the 

SPEEDLAN Configurator.
