MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide

Bridged connections require both Answer and Connection (or Names/Passwords) profiles 
settings. They also require a method of recognizing when to dial the connection. The method 
can use either the dial-on-broadcast feature or a Bridge Adrs profile (Ethernet > Bridge Adrs). 
If a connection has an associated Bridge Adrs profile, it does not need dial-on-broadcast. You 
can define up to 100 Bridge Adrs profiles.

Following are the bridging parameters (shown with sample values):

Ethernet

Answer

PPP options...

Bridge=Yes

Recv Auth=Either

Ethernet

Connections

farend

Station=farend

Bridge=Yes

Dial Brdcast=No

Recv PW=brianpw

Ethernet

Bridge Adrs

Enet Adrs=CFD012367

Net Adrs=10.1.1.12

Connection #=7

The following sections provide some background information about the bridging parameters. 
For discussion of IPX options, see “IPX bridged configurations” on page 14-12. For detailed 
information about each parameter, see the MAX Reference. 

In order for the MAX to accept inbound bridged connections, the Bridge parameter must be 
enabled and the Recv Auth parameter must specify a form of password authentication must be 
enabled. The Bridge and Recv Auth parameters are located in Ethernet > Answer > PPP 
Options.
