Bridge Lookup Table
Address
MAC Address learned and included in the forwarding table.
Port
Port where the MAC Address was learned.
Status
How the address was included in the forwarding table. The two possibilities
include “Self” (the unit’s own MAC address), and “Learned” (the unit-learned
MAC address is directly accessible by this port).
Encryption
If a DLCI encapsulation is set for FRF.17 instead of RFC1490, all data will
be encrypted using FRF.17 Mode One formats and protocols. However, the
encryption method is Blowfish, rather than the DES specified in FRF.17.
NOTICE:
This software-based encryption should not affect performance of the
unit in a SCADA environment because the message size is quite small.
However, a main site unit encrypting up to 128 DLCIs and operating a
number of remote units using encryption will see a degradation in
performance as traffic increases.
