Drop Ethernet Link On Wireless Link Down When enabled, this causes the Ethernet link to
be dropped briefly when the Wireless link drops. This is so that spanning tree algorithms can
quickly detect that there is a problem.
Local Packet Filtering When Local Packet Filtering is Enabled, the bridge learns the source
MAC addresses of devices transmitting Ethernet packets on the local Ethernet network, and
only bridges packets to the remote unit if the destination MAC address has not been learnt as a
'local' device. When Local Packet Filtering is Disabled the bridge does not learn the source
MAC addresses of devices transmitting Ethernet packets on the local Ethernet network, and
bridges ALL Ethernet packets received to the remote unit. Local Packet Filtering should only
be disabled when external routing hardware is present.
