Setting

Description

Unicast

(default)

Standard IP routing is used. Frames are

forwarded to the unicast MAC address of the

router. This is either the default router specified

in the [Tcpip] configuration menu of the access

point, or an alternative router assigned by ICMP

redirect.

Multicast

Reserved for future use.

Broadcast

OWL/IP frames are sent using an Ethernet

broadcast address. This capability allows use of

directed, and

All Subnets IP addressing.

Address

The Address setting is the target IP address of the access

point to which OWL/IP frames are addressed. The address

should be consistent with the type (unicast, multicast, or

broadcast). The prompt is:

Range is:
4 nums 0..255

Entries are cleared by setting addresses to 0.0.0.0.

[TX Filter]

Configuration of filters for the OWL/IP port is done using

the transmit filter ([TX Filter]) option. Filter setup is

similar to the normal Ethernet filter menu, described on

page 4-43. Note that the Ethernet receive filters and the

OWL/IP transmit filters are both applied to frames

forwarded through a tunnel.
OWL/IP filters restrict the frame types that are allowed to

be forwarded from the home subnet to remote subnets. By

default, filters are programmed to drop all protocol types

except for three protocols specified in the [SubTypes 1]

screen. The types are NNL DIX type 875b, IP Address

Resolution Protocol (ARP) DIX 0806, and ICMP 0001.
