4-20 Configuring Ethernet Mode Airmux-200 Ver. 1.750
ODU Bridge Mode
This parameter controls the ODU mode with two optional values,
• Hub Mode – in Hub mode the ODU transparently forwards the all the packets
over the wireless link.
• Bridge Mode – In Bridge mode the ODU performs both learning and aging, the
aging time of the ODU is fixed at 300 seconds.
Changing these modes requires system reset.
IDU Aging time
This parameter controls the IDU aging time.
The IDU has a 2047 MAC address-learning table. The aging time parameter
controls the time each MAC address is dropped from the table.
Default value is 300 seconds.
Any change to these parameters is effective immediately.
Each side of the link can be configured separately.
The following list details common configurations; both sides are must be
configured with the same parameter.
• Standard (Default) Configuration for Ethernet Applications
Set IDU aging to 300 seconds, ODU set to Bridge mode,
Figure 4-16 .
• Fast aging mode – for rapid network topology changes
Set IDU aging to one second, ODU set to Hub mode.
• Hub Mode
The ODU is set to HUB mode. IDU aging is not applicable.
• Ethernet Bridge
The ODU is set to Bridge mode. The IDU aging is not applicable.
4.11 Configuring Ethernet Mode
The Ethernet mode is configurable for line speed (10/100BaseT) and duplex mode
(half or full duplex). Airmux-200 provides an Auto detect feature where the line
speed and duplex mode are detected automatically using autonegotiation. Use
the manual configuration when external equipment does not support
autonegotiation. The default setting is Auto Detect. (See
Figure 4-16 ).
The maximum Ethernet Information Rate can be limited via the pull down menu.
The default setting is Best Effort.
It is not recommended to configure the port that is used for the management
connection, since a wrong configuration can cause management disconnection or
Ethernet services interruption.
