VC 1 Bridge Settings

 

Bridge = A bridge is a layer 2 device that connects two segments of the same LAN that use the

 

same protocol such as Ethernet. The Router does not have a WAN IP address in this mode. The

 

client PC will typically get an IP address form a DHCP server in the network or it can be assigned

 

statically.

 

Routed Bridge = Routed Bridged Encapsulation (RBE) is the process by which a bridged segment

 

is terminated on a routed interface. Specifically, the router is routing on an IEEE 802.3 or

 

Ethernet header carried over RFC 1483 bridged ATM. RBE was developed to address the known

 

RFC1483 bridging issues, including broadcast storms and security. The Router will get a WAN IP

Mode

address through DHCP or can be assigned statically. NAT will use the global address assigned to

 

the Router.

 

Proxy Bridge = Proxy Bridge is the process in which the Router acts as a proxy ARP agent for a

 

local public subnet. The Router will be assigned an IP address from within that public subnet.

 

The Router will direct all traffic to a router, which is configured statically. The router address

 

must not reside within the Routers assigned public subnet. All traffic will be sent via the router

 

MAC address. The LAN may also have a private NAT'ed network. NAT will use the global

 

address assigned to the Router.

 

VLAN = Assigns VLAN tags to individual data ports on the Router.

If you selected the Routed Bridge mode under VC 1- Bridge Settings, the following screen will be displayed.
