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 alternative 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.
Reboot verification
A number of attributes, such as IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address and
VLAN settings will require a reboot before they are used. If any of these attributes are
changed a reboot screen appears asking the user to verify the reboot (Figure 6-21 or
Figure 6-22).
