UDP Relay

This menu configures the TA 544 to act as a UDP relay agent for applications requiring a response from UDP hosts that are not on the same network segment as their clients.

Mode

When this option is set to ON, the TA 544 will act as a relay agent.

UDP Relay List

Up to four relay destination servers can be specified in this list.

This is the IP address of the server that will re- ceive the relay packet.

The following standard UDP protocols are relayed when set: DHCP, TFTP, DNS, NTP (Network Time Protocol, port 123, NBNS (NetBios Name Server, port 137), NBDG (NetBIOS Datagram, port 138), and BootP.

When set, the UDP port (1 to 65535) can be specified in the UDP Port columns (up to three per server).

Used for specifying UDP ports to be relayed.

These fields only apply when UDP PORT TYPE is

set to SPECIFIED.

Bridge

The BRIDGE menu is used to set up the bridge parameters for the TA 544. The bridging function runs at the Media Access Control (MAC) level which allows any protocol packets that run over Ethernet to be for- warded. Bridging can run concurrently with IP. However, when IP routing is active, IP packets (which include ARP packets) are not bridged.

Mode

This is used to enable the bridge function.

Address Table

The TA 544 automatically maintains a table of MAC addresses detected and associates those addresses with the LAN or WAN port from which they were received.

AGING

The maximum time an idle MAC address remains in

 

the table before being removed. The value is in min-

 

utes.

FORWARD POLICY

When this parameter is set to UNKNOWN (def), any

 

bridge packet with a destination MAC address that

 

is not in the bridge table is forwarded to all other

 

ports. When set to KNOWN, the packet with the un-

 

known destination MAC address is dropped and is

 

not forwarded.
