the Answer profile enables bridging (as discussed in “Bridging in the Answer
profile” on page 5-4).
Note:
In the example, Dial Brdcast is turned off in the Connection profiles and a
Bridge profile is specified. This is not required. You can turn on Dial Brdcast and
omit the Bridge profile if you prefer.
To configure the local Pipeline for a bridged connection:
1
Open the System profile.
2
If the Pipeline does not already have a system name, assign one.
For example:
Name=SITEAGW
Bridged connections use system names for part of the authentication process.

Close the System profile.

Enet Adrs=0080AD12CF9B
