Creating Bridge Connections - Zhone zNID-GPON-2402 Configuration Manual

Creating bridge connections

In Bridged mode, the zNID 24xx operates as a standard learning bridge. The
source addresses in received packet headers are examined to locate unknown
devices. Until the location of the destination is known, the packets are flooded
to all ports that are members of the VLAN. Once a device has been located, its
location is recorded in a table where the MAC address is stored so as to
preclude the need for further flooding.
In addition, there is a "secure forwarding" mode. When this mode is enabled,
packets are not flooded to all ports. Instead, all packets are forwarded to the
port that is designated as the uplink port. In this mode, users are prevented
from directly communicating with each other.
Note: Bridged connections for use with VEIP must use the
CPU-Bridged type. See
page 194 for an example creating
a CPU-Bridged type for VEIP.
