7 Configuration and Use - Transparent Bridging
7.1
Preparatory Steps
Needed information
Multiple destinations
PC(s)
TCP/IP
CAUTION
54 / 254
VPI/VCI value of the VC(s) to use on the DSL line
"
Bridging packet service must be supported on these VCs
"
Encapsulation method (LLC/SNAP)
"
The PC's IP configuration: static or dynamic (DHCP).
"
Note: The RFC1483 is updated by RFC2684. The AST710 fully complies with
the relevant sections in both RFCs.
You can attach up to four connections (VCs ) to the bridge.
To conserve DSL upstream bandwidth do not attach more
connections than needed.
Bridging does not impose specific requirements to your PC's
protocol layers. However, make sure that these are properly
installed and configured.
In all subsequent examples, TCP/IP will be used.
For TCP/IP , your SP will assign either static IP parameters or will
ask to enable DHCP (per PC).
Transparent Bridging and DHCP
If the SP requires you to use DHCP on your local PC(s), you must
disable the AST710 DHCP server.
This is to avoid conflicts between two DHCP servers.
See section 13.4 for more information.
