Attribute
Meaning
Data Port Auto
Neg
Advertisement
Select the data rate that the auto-negotiation mechanism will
advertise as available. Use the same setting for both ends of
the link.
Only select a data rate that is within the capability of
connected network equipment, otherwise loss of service may
occur.
Data Port Auto
Mdix
This enables/disables the Auto Medium Dependent Interface
(MDI)/Medium Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX)
capability. Default is ‘Enabled’.
Data Port Wireless
Down Alert
When enabled, this causes the Ethernet link to be dropped
briefly when the wireless link drops. This signals to the
connected network equipment that this link is no longer
available. Connected Ethernet switches can be configured to
forward Ethernet frames on an alternative path identified
using the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
Local Packet
Filtering
‘Enabled’ means that the management agent learns the
location of end stations from the source addresses in received
management frames. The agent filters transmitted
management frames to ensure that the frame is transmitted
at the Ethernet port, or over the wireless link as appropriate.
If the end station address is unknown, then management
traffic is transmitted at the Ethernet port and over the
wireless link.
‘Disabled’ means that ALL Ethernet packets received are
transmitted over the wireless link. Local Packet Filtering
should be disabled when external Ethernet switching
hardware or a router is present.
