SECTION 4 " Configuration

Setting

Description

Unicast

Standard IP routing is used. Frames are

(default)

forwarded to the unicast MAC address of the

 

router. This is either the default router specified

 

in the [Tcpip] configuration menu of the access

 

point, or an alternative router assigned by ICMP

 

redirect.

Multicast

Reserved for future use.

Broadcast

OWL/IP frames are sent using an Ethernet

 

broadcast address. This capability allows use of

 

directed, and All Subnets IP addressing.

Address

The Address setting is the target IP address of the access point to which OWL/IP frames are addressed. The address should be consistent with the type (unicast, multicast, or broadcast). The prompt is:

Range is:

4 nums 0..255

Entries are cleared by setting addresses to 0.0.0.0.

[TX Filter]

Configuration of filters for the OWL/IP port is done using the transmit filter ([TX Filter]) option. Filter setup is similar to the normal Ethernet filter menu, described on page 4-43. Note that the Ethernet receive filters and the OWL/IP transmit filters are both applied to frames forwarded through a tunnel.

OWL/IP filters restrict the frame types that are allowed to be forwarded from the home subnet to remote subnets. By default, filters are programmed to drop all protocol types except for three protocols specified in the [SubTypes 1] screen. The types are NNL DIX type 875b, IP Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) DIX 0806, and ICMP 0001.
