Configuring RFC 1483 Bridging/Routing Sessions

4Enter the LAN configuration parameters.

Select Enable to use Bridging mode which forwards Ethernet data based on MAC addresses, as indicated by the service provider (see page 84).

ŒAssign a port priority when you enable Bridging mode and Spanning Tree (on the EasySession page). The port priority is a number you assign to each Bridging mode session to determine which has higher priority when there are sessions active simultaneously. Spanning Tree protocol does not allow loops which would occur with simultaneous sessions on the same network. See the configuration on page 84 for whether or not Spanning Tree is enabled.

Select Enable to use Routing mode which forwards IP datagrams based on IP addresses, as indicated by the service provider (see page 84).
