Features
Routing and Bridging Support
The MBE Family supports remote access routing and bridging for connecting remote PCs or LANs to a central LAN over a wide variety of WAN interfaces and services. This includes ISDN, Frame Relay, Leased Line,
Routing and bridging are performed on a
•Router links can operate opposite any PPP standard compliant device, including third party routers and
•Bridge links are transparent to Layer 3 protocols, such as NetBIOS and
DECNET.
A backup link may be defined, which will be automatically activated if a failure occurs on the main link.
Management
Setup and configuration can be carried out from an ASCII terminal or PC terminal emulator connected to the control port, from any SNMP management station, such as RADview, or through TELNET (see the LAN RANger Series Configuration Guide).
IP/IPX Support
Internet Protocol (IP) specifies support or MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) fragmentation and reassembly of packets to form datagrams. The MTU defines the limit on fragment size transmitted on a physical network. The local terminal must support the reassembly of IP packets in order to read the IP datagram.
MBE supports networks that have multiple IP nets on the LAN.
