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
192.168.17.16
2
192.168.17.188
3
192.168.23.21
4
0.0.0.0
5
0.0.0.0
6
0.0.0.0
7
0.0.0.0
8
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.
