The TRACER 64x0 has the capability to pass management information received on the local management
port (
port (
MGMT
) across the RF link to the remote end. This feature allows units to operate in a daisy-chain
fashion, providing the user with configuration, management, and monitoring functions for all TRACER
systems in the chain as well as any other Ethernet-capable device located on the same network segment as
the TRACER systems. The TRACER 64x0 takes Ethernet traffic received on the local management port
and determines (using a MAC bridge functionality) whether the traffic is intended for the local TRACER
system or a system located over the RF link. If the

The RF Link Management Bridge feature should be used only to pass TRACER
management information from one TRACER to another over the RF link. It is important to
employ an IP addressing scheme that allows for independent networks at the local and all
remote sites in the daisy-chain because the TRACER 64x0 will bridge all Ethernet traffic
bound for a remote network over the RF link. Excessive bridge traffic can impede proper
management operation; it is recommended that bridge traffic be limited to configuration,
management, and monitoring functions.
