Bridged Mode
The DTU in IEEE802.1 “Ethernet
Bridge” mode transparently
connects the two Ethernet
segments on Port 1 and Port 2
together. The DTU, as an
ethernet bridge, will distribute
ethernet frames coming in on
either port, out the second port.
This permits the connection of the
two Ethernet network segments
on Port1 and Port2 without
changing the topology of the
network.
The Targa DTU will continue to
function as a network attached
storage device processing any IP
data packet with the Targa DTU
specified IP address, all other
packets are forwarded out the
second ethernet port.
IP Address & Netmask
IP Address and Netmask for the
DTU as a Network Storage
device. If either is changed a
DTU reboot is required before the
change takes effect.
Gateway Addr:
For those network configurations where the Targa
DTU may receive an IP packet address from outside
the local subnet, the DTU response packet is sent to
the gateway address. The gateway address is usually
the LAN's border router. If set to 0.0.0.0 packets with
an address outside the local subnet are dropped.
Hostname
Human-readable unique nick-name, by which the
Targa DTU network attached device is known on the
network.
