Configuring the
Ethernet Address
Table
If you have a secondary LAN, you should configure the Ethernet address
table in the designated bridge or WAP on the secondary LAN. This table
contains all the MAC addresses on the secondary LAN that are
communicating with the primary LAN. You must enter the MAC addresses
of all devices on the secondary LAN that do not always initiate
communication.
If you choose not to configure this table, the designated bridge or WAP
may need to flood frames to the Ethernet and radio ports to learn the path
to the MAC address.
These addresses become permanent entries in the forwarding table of the
designated bridge or WAP.
To configure the Ethernet address table
1. From the main menu, click Ethernet > Address Table. The Address
Table screen appears.
2. Enter up to 20 MAC addresses. MAC addresses consist of six hex
pairs that are separated by spaces, colons, or hyphens.
3. Click Submit Changes to save your changes. To activate your
changes, from the menu bar click Save/Discard Changes, and then
click Save Changes and Reboot. For help, see “Saving Configuration
Changes” on page 46.
