Bridging Configuration
This chapter shows you how to configure the Bridging options for the
Prestige. Depending on your particular applications, you will need to
configure different menus. We will illustrate the configuration for some
applications in the following sections.
IPX Spoofing
The Prestige comes with several pre-defined call filters designed to
prevent certain IPX packets from triggering a call to a Remote Node.
These filters should inform your Prestige which packets should be
ignored as traffic.
When you are bridging IPX packets, the default call filters are defined
as follows:
•
Block periodical SAP and RIP response messages.
•
Block SAP and RIP inquiry packets if set to Handle IPX as Server.
•
Allow SAP and RIP inquiry packets if set to Handle IPX as Client
or None.
These call filters prevent the Prestige from making a call to the Remote
Node, thus preventing the expense of an unnecessary phone call.
Bridge Ethernet Setup
Bridging is used to forward packets of unsupported protocols whose
destination is not on the local Ethernet to the WAN.
