Capture
: Each time the Bridge is
powered on, it captures its MAC
address from the first packet it
receives on the Ethernet port. The
Bridge detects and uses the same
MAC address as the device plugged
into the Ethernet port.
The Bridge uses the previously
captured MAC address upon
power-on until the first packet is
received on the Ethernet port.
Dynamic
: The Bridge changes its
MAC address each time the device
plugged into the Ethernet port
changes.
The Bridge detects the MAC address
of the device plugged into the
