WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual
ODU Bridge Mode
This parameter controls the ODU mode with two optional values,
•
Bridge Mode (default) (Figure 3-17 ). In "bridge" mode the ODU
performs both learning and aging, the aging time of the ODU if
fixed.
•
Hub Mode - in "hub" mode the ODU transparently forward the all
the packets over the wireless link.
Changing these parameters requires system reset.
Note
IDU Aging time
This parameter controls the IDU (E and C) aging time.
The IDU has 2K MAC address learning table. The aging time parameter
controls the time each MAC address is dropped from the table. Default
value is 300 (sec).
Change to these parameters is effective immediately.
Note
Each side of the link can be configured separately.
Note
The following list detail common configurations, both sides are
configured with the same values.
•
Standard (Default) Configuration for Ethernet Applications
IDU-E or IDU-C aging is set to 300 sec (ODU is set to Bridge mode,
Figure-1).
•
Fast aging mode
(for rapid network topology changes)
IDU-E or IDU-C aging is set to 1 seconds, ODU is set to Hub mode
(Figure 3-18).
