IP Subnet Enter the IP subnet of the hosts, to which this MAC forced forwarding entry applies.
In the left field, enter a subnet IP address of the hosts.
In the right field, enter the number of bits for the specified IP address’s netmask from left to right.
This determines how many subscriber IP addresses should be included in this rule. See Network Size
and Notation for details.
Gateway Enter the IP address of the external gateway to which you want to forward ARP requests from
devices belonging to this entry’s VLAN. The OLT drops ARP replies from other devices connected
to the uplink port so they remain hidden.
Note: To have an external gateway work as the MACFF gateway, you need to enter
the IP address of the external gateway in this field.
Otherwise, leave this field empty, and the OLT will work as the MACFF gateway.
Note: This router or server should also be a member of the specified VLAN.
