Correction! Firmware ver 09.10 (CD Ver 1.42/1.43) for airBridge is single Mac and is transparent device and it doesn't modify the packet passes. The newer ver 0.01.04 (CD ver 1.51) is Multimac and it does modify the packet as per Lars mentioned.

The airBridge is a single MAC unit. IP traffic forwarded from the ethernet side of the aB to the wireless side has the source MAC address rewritten to the MAC address of the airBridge. On frames received from the wireless side, it looks at the IP and rewrites the destination MAC address before forwarding it to the ethernet side. If you need completely transparent forwarding of ethernet frames, use the airPoint(Pro) in client bridge mode. The only caveat is that you must make sure that the access point supports "address 4" mode. -- LarsG The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org
