Bridging Settings

Bridging lets the Netopia Gateway use MAC (Ethernet hardware) addresses to forward non-

TCP/IP trafﬁc from one network to another. When bridging is enabled, the Netopia Gateway

maintains a table of up to 512 MAC addresses. Entries that are not used within 30 sec-

onds are dropped. If the bridging table ﬁlls up, the oldest table entries are dropped to

make room for new entries.

Virtual circuits that use IP framing cannot be bridged.

☛ NOTE:

For bridging in the 3341 (or any model with a USB port), you cannot set the

bridge option off, or bridge ethernet option off; these are on by default

because of the USB port.

Common Commands

set bridge option {on | off }

Enables or disables bridging services in the Netopia Gateway. You must enable bridging

services within the Netopia Gateway before you can enable bridging for a speciﬁc inter-

face.
