unit_name
 
is the system name of the MAX—that is, the name specified by the Name 
parameter in the System profile. num
 
is a number in a sequential series, starting at 1.

For each pseudo-user profile, specify one or more bridge entries using the 
Ascend-Bridge-Address attribute.
The Ascend-Bridge-Address attribute has this format:
Ascend-Bridge-Address
="MAC_address profile_name IP_address"
Table 14-2 describes Ascend-Bridge-Address arguments.
Each Ascend-Bridge-Address setting specifies the IP address and associated MAC address of a 
device on a remote LAN to which the MAX can form a bridging connection. When your MAX 
receives an ARP request for one of the IP addresses you specify, the MAX replies with the 
corresponding MAC address and uses the specified profile to bring up a connection to that 
address. Because the MAX replies to these ARP requests as if the IP devices were local, you 
must have user profiles that bridge IP packets to each device.
Whenever you power on or reset the MAX, or when you select the Upd Rem Cfg command 
from the Sys Diag menu, RADIUS adds bridging entries to the bridge table in this way:
1
RADIUS looks for profiles having the format Bridge-
unit_name
-
num
, where 
unit_name 
is the system name and 
num 
is a number in a sequential series, starting with 
1.
2
RADIUS loads the data to create the bridging tables. 
Bridge profile configuration examples
The following profile specifies two bridging table entries.
Bridge-Ascend-1 Password="Ascend", User-Service=Dialout-Framed-User
Ascend-Bridge-Address="2:2:3:10:11:12 Prof1 1.2.3.4 1",
Ascend-Bridge-Address="2:2:3:13:14:15 Prof2 5.6.7.8 2"
Table 14-2.Ascend-Bridge-Address arguments
Argument
Description
MAC_address
Specifies a MAC address in standard 12-digit hexadecimal 
format (yyyyyyyyyyyy) or in colon-separated format 
(yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy). If the leading digit of a colon-separated 
pair is 0 (zero), you do not need to enter it. That is, 
:y 
is the 
same as 
:0y
.
The default value is 000000000000.
profile_name
Specifies the name of the dialout profile the MAX uses to bring 
up the connection. You can specify either a Connection profile 
or a RADIUS user profile. The MAX looks for a local profile 
first.
IP_address
Specifies an IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default 
value is 0.0.0.0.
