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.

The following settings will be displayed if you select edit from your VC Configuration menu on any of your existing VC (Virtual Connections) settings. If you change any of your existing VC settings, click on Set VC.

NOTE: Westell strongly recommends that you do not change any values in this section. If you experience any problems, please re-set your Router via the external hardware re-set button or via the procedure defined under the Maintenance menu.
