SPEEDLAN TM
27
The SPEEDLAN TM is an IEEE 802.3
MAC- layer bridge. The bridge can be con-
figured to bridge or pass any 802.3 frame
type protocols, including Novell IPX, TCP/
IP, AppleTalk, etc. The SPEEDLAN TM
can also be configured to filter packets by
their destination and origin. This is done us-
ing the unique MAC (Media Access Con-
trol) addresses that all network interface de-
vices have assigned to them at the factory.
Protocol Filtering
- By default, the
SPEEDLAN is configured to pass all net-
work protocols. When you press the Edit
button, you will be presented with a list of
protocols which you can select for filtering.
After selecting the protocols, highlight them
on this screen and press the Bridge or Deny
buttons to set how each protocol will be
treated. The radio buttons in the Protocol
Filtering box determine how unselected pro-
tocols are treated.
Ethernet Protocols -
Some common
Ethernet protocols and their associated
ID numbers have been placed in this
table. Simply select one from this list if
you wish to set a filter for it.
If the protocol you wish to filter is not
presented here, click Custom, Add and
enter the hex ID for that protocol.
