Configuring the Pipeline as a Bridge
Configuring bridged connections

An example IP bridged connection
If you are bridging between two segments of the same IP network, you can use
the Net Adrs parameter in a Bridge profile to enable the Pipeline to respond to
ARP requests while bringing up the bridged connection.
If an ARP packet contains an IP address that matches the Net Adrs parameter of a
Bridge profile, the Pipeline responds to the ARP request with the Ethernet
(physical) address specified in the Bridge profile, and brings up the specified
connection. In effect, the Pipeline acts as a proxy for the node that actually has
that address.
In this example, two segments of an IP network are connected across the WAN.

An example IP bridging connection
To configure the first Pipeline shown in Figure 5-5:
1
Open the System profile.
2
If the Pipeline does not already have a system name, assign one.
For example:
Name=SITEAGW
3
Close the System profile.
4
Open Connection profile #7 (for example).
5
Set these parameters:
Station=SITEBGW
Active=Yes
Encaps=PPP
Route IP=No
Bridge=Yes
Dial Brdcast=No
