Bridge Configuration For Lan-To-Lan; Ipx Spoofing - ZyXEL Communications Prestige 153 User Manual

Bridge Configuration for LAN-to-LAN

This chapter shows you how to configure the Bridging options for your Prestige. Depending on
your particular applications, you will need to configure different menus. We will illustrate the
configuration for some applications in the following sections.
8.1

IPX Spoofing

Your Prestige comes with several pre-defined call filters designed to prevent certain IPX packets
from triggering a call to a Remote Node. These filters should inform your Prestige which packets
should be ignored as traffic.
When you are routing IPX packets, the default call filters are defined as follows:
l
Block periodical SAP and RIP response messages.
l
Block SAP and RIP inquiry packets if set to Handle IPX as Server.
l
Allow SAP and RIP inquiry packets if set to Handle IPX as Client or None.
These call filters prevent your Prestige from making a call to the Remote Node, thus preventing
the expense of an unnecessary phone call.
