|
Status | Allows you to enable or disable your VC (Virtual Connection) |
VPI | Displays the VPI (Virtual Path Indicator) value for a particular VC, which is |
| defined by your Service Provider. |
VCI | Displays the VCI (Virtual Channel Indicator) value for a particular VC, |
| which is defined by your Service Provider. |
Protocol | Displays the Protocol for each VC, which is specified by your Service |
| Provider. |
NOTE: The configuration | PPPoA = Point to Point Protocol over ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) |
specified by your Service | PPPoE = Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet |
Provider will determine which | Bridge = Bridge Protocol |
Protocols are available to you. | Classical IPoA = Internet Protocol over ATM (Asynchronous Transfer |
| Mode). This is an ATM encapsulation of the IP protocol. |
Bridge Broadcast | Factory Default = CHECKED |
| When this setting is CHECKED, the Router will allow Broadcast IP packets |
| to/from the WAN. |
| When this setting is NOT CHECKED, the router will block Broadcast IP |
| packets to/from the WAN. |
| This setting is only valid if one of the Virtual Channels is configured for |
| Bridge mode. |
Bridge Multicast | Factory Default = CHECKED |
| When this setting is CHECKED, the Router will allow Multicast IP packets |
| to/from the WAN. |
| When this setting is NOT CHECKED, the Router will block Multicast IP |
| packets to/from the WAN. |
| This setting is only valid if one of the Virtual Channels is configured for |
| Bridge mode. |
Spanning Tree Protocol | Factory Default = DISABLED |
| Spanning Tree Protocol is a link management protocol that provides path |
| redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For Ethernet |
| network to function properly, only one active path can exist between two |
| stations. |
| When ENABLED, two bridges are used to interconnect the same two |
| computer network segments. Spanning Tree Protocol will allow the bridges to |
| exchange information so that only one of them will handle a given message |
| that is being sent between two computers within the network. |
