8 Bridging Configuration

This chapter shows you how to configure the Bridging options for your Prestige. Depending on your particular applications, you will need to configure different menus. We will illustrate the configuration for some applications in the following sections.

Bridge Ethernet Setup

Bridging is used to forward packets of unsupported protocols whose destination is not on the local Ethernet to the WAN.

LAN-to-LAN Application

A typical LAN-to-LAN application is to use your Prestige to call from one office to another office such that stations on one network have access to stations on the remote side and vice versa. You will need to configure a Remote Node in order to dial out to another office.

Remote Node Setup

Follow the procedure in Chapter 5 to fill the protocol-independent parameters in Menu 11, Remote Node Profile. For the protocol- dependent parameters, follow the ensuing instructions:

1.Bridge - Make sure this field is set to Yes.

2.Edit IP/IPX/Bridge - Press the space bar to change it to Yes and press Enter to go to the network layer options menu as seen below:
