the LAN

the LAN port by providing a name. After adding a network, you can modify

 

advanced parameters.

Bridging IP Traffic

By default the OfficeConnect Remote 812 is set up to route IP traffic. To bridge IP

 

traffic you must turn off IP Forwarding.

IP Forwarding refers to the routing of IP packets from one interface to another. It does not affect communicating to the OfficeConnect Remote 812 itself. Even when IP Forwarding is disabled, you can perform non-routing functions such as use a Web browser to manage the unit and use PING.

To see the current IP Forwarding status use the command:

￿show ip settings

To disable IP Forwarding use the command:

disable ip forwarding

Advanced Bridging The advanced bridging configuration options include Aging Time, Forward Delay, Options Spanning Tree, and Spanning Tree Priority.

To see the current settings for these options, use the command:

show bridge settings
