Configuring the

Ethernet Address

Table

AT-WA7500 and AT-WA7501 Installation and User’s Guide

If you have a secondary LAN, you should configure the Ethernet address table in the designated bridge or WAP on the secondary LAN. This table contains all the MAC addresses on the secondary LAN that are communicating with the primary LAN. You must enter the MAC addresses of all devices on the secondary LAN that do not always initiate communication.

If you choose not to configure this table, the designated bridge or WAP may need to flood frames to the Ethernet and radio ports to learn the path to the MAC address.

These addresses become permanent entries in the forwarding table of the designated bridge or WAP.

To configure the Ethernet address table

1.From the main menu, click Ethernet > Address Table. The Address Table screen appears.

2.Enter up to 20 MAC addresses. MAC addresses consist of six hex pairs that are separated by spaces, colons, or hyphens.

3.Click Submit Changes to save your changes. To activate your changes, from the menu bar click Save/Discard Changes, and then click Save Changes and Reboot. For help, see “Saving Configuration Changes” on page 46.
