Bridge Configuration for LAN-to-LAN

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.

8.1IPX Spoofing

Your Prestige comes with several pre-defined call filters designed to prevent certain IPX packets from triggering a call to a Remote Node. These filters should inform your Prestige which packets should be ignored as traffic.

When you are routing IPX packets, the default call filters are defined as follows:

•Block periodical SAP and RIP response messages.

•Block SAP and RIP inquiry packets if set to Handle IPX as Server.

•Allow SAP and RIP inquiry packets if set to Handle IPX as Client or None.

These call filters prevent your Prestige from making a call to the Remote Node, thus preventing the expense of an unnecessary phone call.
