The IP·Tube E2 is used to interconnect Ethernet LANs through an IP network. Ethernet frames that are destined for a device located on the remote network are encapsulated into IP packets. The IP packets, with the encapsulated Ethernet frames, are sent to the IP address of the destination network's IP·Tube E2 where the IP envelope is removed and the original Ethernet Frames are delivered to the destination network's Ethernet device.
Secure Communication
The IPTube·E2 provides a high level of security by only exchanging packets with the remote network. Additionally Ethernet Frames within the IP envelope must be addressed to specific Ethernet MAC addresses. Bridges secure applications that limit communication to IP addresses within the same subnet across an enterprise Intranet.
