IP-aware Bridging
The line cards can forward frames based on the destination IP address, instead of the
destination MAC address, and replace the source MAC address with its own MAC address.
This provides better scalability and security for large-scale access networks, especially with
Ethernet.
Classifier and Policy
You can create a policy to define actions to be performed on a PVC traffic flow grouped by a
classifier according to specific criteria such as the IP address, port number or protocol type,
and so on.
