NOTE: The configuration | PPPoA = Point to Point Protocol over ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) |
specified by your Service | PPPoE = Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet |
Provider will determine which | Bridge = Bridge Protocol |
Protocols are available to you. | Classical IPoA = Internet Protocol over ATM (Asynchronous Transfer |
| Mode). This is an ATM encapsulation of the IP protocol. |
Bridge Broadcast | Factory Default = CHECKED |
| When this setting is CHECKED, the Router will allow Broadcast IP packets |
| to/from the WAN. |
| When this setting is NOT CHECKED, the router will block Broadcast IP |
| packets to/from the WAN. |
| This setting is only valid if one of the Virtual Channels is configured for |
| Bridge mode. |
Bridge Multicast | Factory Default = CHECKED |
| When this setting is CHECKED, the Router will allow Multicast IP packets |
| to/from the WAN. |
| When this setting is NOT CHECKED, the Router will block Multicast IP |
| packets to/from the WAN. |
| This setting is only valid if one of the Virtual Channels is configured for |
| Bridge mode. |
Spanning Tree Protocol | Factory Default = DISABLED |
| Spanning Tree Protocol is a link management protocol that provides path |
| redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For Ethernet |
| network to function properly, only one active path can exist between two |
| stations. |
| When ENABLED, two bridges are used to interconnect the same two |
| computer network segments. Spanning Tree Protocol will allow the bridges to |
| exchange information so that only one of them will handle a given message |
| that is being sent between two computers within the network. |
The following settings will be displayed if you select edit from your VC Configuration menu on any of your existing VC (Virtual Connections) settings. If you change any of your existing VC settings, click on Set VC.
