VLAN High Priority Traffic Threshold: All packets with an 802.1P priority tag greater than
or equal to the indicated value will be treated as a high priority packet for transmission over
the wireless link.
Use VLAN For Management Interfaces: This controls whether the management interfaces
(WWW/SNMP/SMTP/SNTP) use 802.1Q VLAN tags or not. See Section
1065H8.3.1.3.
Ethernet Auto Negotiation This enables the Ethernet configuration to be forced rather than
auto negotiated.
Warning: The configuration should only be forced if you are having problems with auto
negotiation. You must ensure that you configure both this unit and the Ethernet port to
which it is connected identically. If you force a fixed Ethernet Configuration on the 600
Series bridge then you MUST also force the same fixed configuration on the equipment
to which it is connected. If you fail to force the configuration of the connected
equipment, its automatic configuration mechanisms will normally cause a duplex
mismatch, and you will receive greatly reduced throughput!
When Ethernet Auto Negotiation is Disabled the format of the LAN configuration page will
change see Section
1066H8.3.1.4 “1067HLAN Configuration Page – Manual Ethernet Configuration”.
Auto Neg Advertisement: This controls the rates that the auto negotiation mechanism will
advertise as available. Warning: Over the air throughput will be capped to the rate of the
Ethernet interface at the receiving end of the link.
Ethernet Auto Mdix: This enables/disables the Auto Medium Dependent Interface
(MDI)/Medium Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX) capability.
Drop Ethernet Link On Wireless Link Down: When this option is enabled the Ethernet link
is momentarily dropped when the wireless link goes down. This feature is used to indicate to
the connected network equipment that this Ethernet link is no longer available, thus causing
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) to re-route packets through an alternate link.
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 learned 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 be disabled when external Ethernet switching hardware or a router is
present. The default setting for Local Packet Filtering is disabled.
