4.10.4.5 Forwarding Rules
The Forwarding Rule defines the features that affect forwarding and switching of
data. Data in L2 and Voice services may be switched only between the Services
that share the same Forwarding Rule. Data in PPPoE service can pass only
between the subscriber and an Access Concentrator behind the Base Station.
The Forwarding Rule menu enables defining new Forwarding Rules, viewing or
editing details of previously defined Forwarding Rules and removing Forwarding
Rules from the database.
The Forwarding Rules database can hold up to 255 Forwarding Rules.
The configurable Forwarding Rule's parameters are:
4.10.4.5.1 Forwarding Rule Name
A Forwarding Rule Name consists of up to 32 printable characters.
4.10.4.5.2 Service Type
The Service Type for which the Forwarding Rule is defined. The Service Type
parameter is configurable only when defining a new Service Profile (Add). It is not
changeable.
The currently available Service Type options are:
1 – L2
2 – PPPoE
3 - Voice
For more details refer to Section 4.10.1.2.
4.10.4.5.3 Unicast Relaying (L2 and Voice Service Type)
The Unicast Relaying parameter determines whether the AU performs unicast
relaying. When the Unicast Relaying parameter is enabled, unicast packets
originating from devices on the wireless link can be transmitted back to the
wireless link devices. If disabled, these packets are not sent to the wireless link
even if they are intended for devices on the wireless link.
4.10.4.5.4 Broadcast Relaying (L2 and Voice Service Type)
The Broadcast Relaying parameter determines whether the AU performs
broadcast relaying. When the Broadcast Relaying parameter is enabled,
broadcast packets originating from devices on the wireless link are transmitted by
the AU back to the wireless link devices, as well as to the backbone. If disabled,
these packets are sent only to the backbone and are not sent back to the wireless
link.
