The Express L768/L1.5 provides the following basic functions:
1.
LAN Bridge: Bridging provides a point-to-point connection between two
LANs. The bridge learning function scans the source and destination me-
dia access control (MAC) addresses of all packets on its local LAN and de-
termines which packets should be transmitted over the HDSL link.
Applications include connectivity between single user or small offices to
corporate LANs. The Express L768/L1.5 uses the Spanning Tree Algo-
rithm (IEEE 802.1d-ISO/IEC10038), which provides a loop-free topology
and redundancy.
