6.1 Preparatory Steps
 VPI/VCI value of the VC(s) to use on the DSL line
 ETHoA (RFC1483/Bridged) connection service must be
supported on these VCs
 Encapsulation method (LLC/SNAP)
 The PC's IP configuration: static or dynamic (DHCP).
Note: The RFC1483 is updated by RFC2684. The STPro fully complies with the
relevant sections in both RFCs.
You can attach up to four connections (VCs ) to the bridge.
To conserve DSL upstream bandwidth do not attach more
connections than needed.
Bridging does not impose specific requirements to your PC's
protocol layers. However, make sure that these are properly
installed and configured.
In all subsequent examples, TCP/IP will be used.
For TCP/IP, your SP will assign either static IP parameters or will
ask to enable DHCP (per PC).
Transparent Bridging and DHCP
If the SP requires you to use DHCP on your local PC(s), you must
disable the STPro DHCP server.
This is to avoid conflicts between two DHCP servers.
See section 14.4 for more information.
