6-2 Bridging Setup
Bridge Setup
Each SPEEDLAN brouter contains an IEEE 802.3 MAC-layer bridging engine. The bridge can be
configured to filter or pass any 802.3 frame type protocols, including Novell IPX, TCP/IP, AppleTalk,
etc. The brouter can also be configured to filter packets by their destination and origin. This is done
using the unique MAC (Media Access Control) addresses that all network interface devices have
assigned to them at the factory. Bridge Setup is accessed from the main Setup menu of the
SPEEDLAN Configurator.
