Bridging bases the forwarding decision on the MAC (Media Access Control), or hardware address, while routing does it on the network layer (IP or IPX) address. Bridging allows the Prestige 645R to transport packets of network layer protocols that the Prestige 645R does not route, e.g., SNA, from one network to another.
The period of time that your Prestige 645R will do this is linked to the Ethernet Address Timeout parameter in each remote node (see Remote Node Configuration). When a remote Ethernet address is aged out, there is no need to maintain its connection to the IPX server.
If it is set to No, your Prestige will not make the outgoing call. Ethernet Addr In this field, enter the time (number of minutes) that you wish your Prestige 645R Timeout (min) (menu to retain the Ethernet Addr information in its internal tables while the line is down.
