Option A: Unicast Addressing

In this example, unicast IP addresses are entered in the

table for each designated bridge. The two designated

bridges on subnet 192.168.17.0 negotiate which access point

serves as the designated bridge for that subnet.
AP 4 has the highest bridge priority, so AP 3 becomes the

designated bridge only if AP 4 fails or loses its network

connection. AP 5 is the only access point on subnet

192.168.23.0, so no fallback is available.
Following is the IP Addresses Table for this option:

Type

Address

1 <Unicast>

192.168.17.16

2 <Unicast>

192.168.17.188

3 <Unicast>

192.168.23.21

4 <Unicast>

0.0.0.0

5 <Unicast>

0.0.0.0

6 <Unicast>

0.0.0.0

7 <Unicast>

0.0.0.0

8 <Unicast>

0.0.0.0

Option B: Directed Broadcast

In this example, a directed broadcast address is used for

each subnet. The broadcast to subnet 192.168.17.0 is

received by all access points. The access point with the

highest bridge priority provides the remote termination of

the OWL/IP tunnel. A broadcast MAC address is used.
Following is the IP Addresses Table for this option:
