Remember to save your configuration using the save all command before
rebooting your OfficeConnect Remote 812 so that your changes will be written to
permanent FLASH memory.
To configure a protocol over the LAN, you need to assign a protocol network to
the LAN port by providing a name. After adding a network, you can modify
advanced parameters.
To add a bridge network over the Ethernet interface, use the command:


add bridge network <network name>
You can obtain a list of all configured networks using the command list
networks. To only list bridge networks, use list bridge networks.
By default, the network is enabled when it is created. You can disable the


network using the following command:
disable bridge network <network name>
You can delete a disabled network using the command:


delete bridge network <network name>
To configure bridging to a remote site you must enable bridging in the VC profile
using the command:
set vc <vc name>
bridge [DISABLE | ENABLE]
By default the OfficeConnect Remote 812 is set up to route IP traffic. To bridge IP
traffic you must turn off IP Forwarding.
IP Forwarding refers to the routing of IP packets from one interface to another. It
does not affect communicating to the OfficeConnect Remote 812 itself. Even
when IP Forwarding is disabled, you can perform non-routing functions such as
use a Web browser to manage the unit and use PING.
To see the current IP Forwarding status use the command:


show ip settings
To disable IP Forwarding use the command:


disable ip forwarding
The advanced bridging configuration options include Aging Time, Forward Delay,
Spanning Tree, and Spanning Tree Priority.
To see the current settings for these options, use the command:
