to this device. This occurs even when the device is no longer
connected.
• : If you choose this setting, the MAC address of the first
non-IP unicast frame or non-ARP unicast frame, which occurs
on any of the Ethernet interfaces, is used as the wildcard
MAC address. This wildcard MAC address can only be reset
by rebooting the device or by selecting another wildcard
mode.

dress is used to establish a connection to the access point. As
soon as a non-IP unicast frame or non-ARP unicast frame ap-
pears, it is forwarded to the MAC address from which the last
non-IP unicast frame or non-ARP unicast frame was received
on the Ethernet interface of the device. This wildcard MAC ad-
dress is renewed with each non-IP unicast frame or non-ARP
unicast frame.
