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.

All of the above attributes are non-volatile, once set they will be used by the unit even after a

power on reboot. 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

32 or Figure 33).
