Configure an Ethernet bridge between two networks (MAC bridging)
The Ethernet MAC bridge function creates an Ethernet bridge between two physically separate
Ethernet networks. It is possible to allow bridging over DSL, W-Wan, ISDN and PSTN connections but
note that the only restriction on the traffic sent across the link is done via MAC address filtering and
that all Ethernet traffic will be bridged, no firewall restrictions are applied to this traffic.
Once the bridge has been configured, the MAC addresses to bridge need to be configured in the MAC
bridge table.
ÉWeb
1. Go to Configuration > Network > Interfaces >Ethernet>MAC Filtering.
2. Configure MAC bridging settings:
Enable
Enables MAC bridging on the Ethernet interface.
Forward to Host
The IP address of the remote router to which the Ethernet packets will be bridged.
Port
The TCP port that the remote router is listening on.
Listen on Port
The TCP port that the router will listen on for incoming bridged packet from the remote router.
MAC Address
The Ethernet destination MAC address of packets to be bridged. It is possible to allow a range
of MAC addresses by configuring only the significant part of the MAC address. such as 00042d
will allow all Ethernet packets with a source MAC address starting with 00:04:2d.
