To implement IP Over Bridging, enable bridging globally, and by port on the WAN connection. (At least one DLCI/PVC must be configured), and assign an IP address to the WAN interface. When these conditions exist (either in Routing or Bridging configuration), the IAD will prompt you to enable or disable IP Over Bridging. When the IP address is unconfigured, IP Over Bridging is disabled automatically. The IAD will also prompt you to enable or disable IP Over Bridging when bridging is being enabled on an interface that already has an IP address assigned.

When an IP address is unconfigured or when bridging is disabled globally or on an interface (port), IP Over Bridging is disable automatically.

When IP Over Bridging is enabled, the IAD examines all Ethernet packets that have its MAC address as a destination. The ARP packets and IP packets with a destination IP address that is assigned to an interface on the IAD are processed as IP packets normally are, including APR resolution. All other packets are processed in the usual way that a bridge processes them.

When the IAD should send an IP packet out (for example, in response to a Ping, or RADIUS authentication), the ARP resolution is performed in a similar manner as accomplished on Ethernet. If the destination Mac address is not known, the ARP broadcast request is sent to all interfaces. The interface that receives the reply is used to send the actual IP packet.

NOTE When using IP Over Bridging with CopperMountain HDIA or CopperVPN, the default route for the IP interface should be specified using the IP address of the router, rather than a WAN port number.

Enabling or Disabling Bridging Globally

To enable or disable bridging globally:

1.On the Main menu, type G to select Enable/Disable Bridging Globally.

2.The IAD displays the status of bridging, and a prompt:

Bridging is globally DISABLED Enter E to Enable, D to Disable:

Type E to enable bridging globally, or D to disable it globally.

3.The IAD saves the configuration and displays the Bridge Configuration menu.

4.Continue with other configuration tasks, or press Escape to return to the Bridge Configuration menu.

5.Reset the IAD (page 14) when you finish bridge configuration.

Enabling or Disabling Bridging by Port

To enable or disable bridging by port:

1.Type P on the Bridge Configuration menu to select Enable/Disable Bridging by Port.

2.The IAD displays the interfaces available on this IAD, and a prompt:

Available Interfaces:

1.G2237 xDSL

2.10/100BaseT Ethernet

0. (Abort)
