MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide

Configuring Packet Bridging
Configuring bridged connections

An AppleTalk connection at the link level requires a bridge at either end of the connection. 
This is unlike a dial-in connection using AppleTalk Remote Access (ARA) encapsulation, in 
which the MAX acts as an ARA server negotiating a session with ARA client software on the 
dial-in Macintosh. 

Figure 14-3 shows an example of a bridged connection between a branch office at Site B, 
which supports Macintosh systems and printers, and a corporate network at Site A. Both Site A 
and Site B support CHAP and require passwords for entry.

The most common cause of trouble when initially setting up a bridged connection is specifying 
the wrong name for the MAX unit or the remote device. Errors often include not specifying 
case changes, or not entering a dash, space, or underscore. Make sure you type the name 
exactly as it appears in the remote device.

In this example, Dial Brdcast is turned off in the Connection profiles and a Bridge Adrs 

profile is specified. If you prefer, however, you can turn on Dial Brdcast and omit the Bridge 
Adrs profile.

To configure the Site A MAX unit for a bridged connection:

Make sure the MAX unit has been signed a station name in System > Sys Config. This 
example uses the name SITEAGW for the MAX.

Turn on bridging and specify an authentication protocol in Ethernet > Answer > PPP 
Options. For example:

Ethernet

Answer

PPP options...

Bridge=Yes

Recv Auth=Either

Open a Connection profile (in this example profile #5), and set the following parameters:

Ethernet

Connections

Station=SITEBGW

Active=Yes

Encaps=PPP

Bridge=Yes

Dial Brdcast=No

Dial Brdcast is not needed because of the Bridge Adrs profile configured next.

Configure password authentication. For example:
