BPM (Bridge Point-to-Multipoint) Operation

The Advanced VSAT BPM feature functions as a Learning Ethernet Switch when the "Working
Mode" is set to BPM. This makes the Advanced VSAT equipment appear as a "Sky Ethernet
Switch" and allows for a greatly simplified network deployment.
In BPM Mode, all L2/L3/L4 protocols such as VLAN, MPLS, IPv6, OSPF, and BGP will flow through
the network as they would through an off‐the‐shelf Ethernet Switch.
The Advanced VSAT System, running in BPM Mode, supports Flat Networks, Flat Networks with
Routers, and VLAN Trunking network topologies.
BPM operation is not available with the ODM-840 Remote Router.
