♦ Bridging Mode: Control the flow of packets that are sent to unknown
addresses.
Wireless: Select Reject Unknown to allow forwarding to the Ethernet port
of frames received on the wireless port only if the destination address is
known to the unit. All other frames will be dropped. Select Forward
Unknown to forward to the Ethernet port all frames received on the
wireless port, except for those sent to addresses that are recognized as
being on the wireless port side. The default is Forward Unknown.
Ethernet: Select Reject Unknown to allow forwarding to the wireless port
of frames received on the Ethernet port only if the destination address is
known to the unit. All other frames will be dropped. Select Forward
Unknown to forward to the wireless port all frames received on the
Ethernet port, except for those sent to addresses that are recognized as
being on the Ethernet port side. The default is Forward Unknown.
♦ Unicast Relaying (BU only): When unicast relaying is enabled, unicast
messages originating on the wireless side can be transmitted back to the
wireless link. When disabled, these packets are not sent back to the wireless
link even if they are intended for addresses on the wireless port side. The
default is Enable.
♦ Multicast Relaying (BU only): When multicast relaying is enabled, multicast
messages originating on the wireless side are transmitted back to the wireless
link as well as to the Ethernet. When disabled, these packets are transmitted
only to the Ethernet and are not sent back to the wireless link. The default is
Enable.
♦ Broadcast Relaying (BU only): When broadcast relaying is enabled, broadcast
messages originating on the wireless side are transmitted back to the wireless
link as well as to the Ethernet. When disabled, these packets are transmitted
only to the Ethernet and are not sent back to the wireless link. The default is
Enable.
NOTE:
To enable devices behind an RB to communicate with devices behind another RB in the same cell when
communication between the RBs is blocked, the devices must be set to different subnets. Note that in
this case, the BU passes packets from one RB destined to another RB to the router behind it. The router
sends these packets back to the BU for transmission to the destination RB. Thus, the rule that no two
RBs are communicating directly with each other prevails.
♦ Allow ESSID ANY (BU only): When enabled, the BU will enable association of
any RB unit whose ESSID is configured to a null value (an empty string). The
default is Disable.
♦ Auto BU Disconnect (BU only): When enabled, the BU will send a broadcast
disassociation message upon identifying that its Ethernet link has been
disconnected. Furthermore, the BU will not enable association with any RB as
long as the Ethernet link is disconnected. The default is Disable.
