Translation Table (SM) Using Informational Tabs in the GUI
Translation Table (SM)
When Translation Bridging is enabled in the AP, each SM keeps a table mapping MAC addresses
of devices attached to the AP to IP addresses, as otherwise the mapping of end-user MAC
addresses to IP addresses is lost. (When Translation Bridging is enabled, an AP modifies all uplink
traffic originating from registered SMs such that the source MAC address of every packet will be
changed to that of the SM which bridged the packet in the uplink direction.)
