Enable Bridging between Transparent Bridging and SRB

We currently know that problems occur with the following protocols when bridged between Token Ring and other media: Novell IPX, DECnet Phase IV, AppleTalk, VINES, XNS, and IP. Further, problems can occur with the Novell IPX and XNS protocols when bridged between FDDI and other media. We recommend that these protocols be routed whenever possible.

To enable SR/TLB, you must perform the task in the following section:

•Enable Bridging between Transparent Bridging and SRB

In addition, you can also perform the tasks in the following sections:

Enable Bridging between Transparent Bridging and SRB

Before enabling bridging, you must have completely configured your router using multiport SRB and transparent bridging. Once you have done this, establish bridging between transparent bridging and source-route bridging by using the following command in global configuration mode:

Command	Purpose
source-bridge transparent ring-grouppseudo-ring	Enable bridging between transparent
bridge-number tb-group [oui]	bridging and SRB.

Disable Fast-Switched SR/TLB

To disable fast-switched SR/TLB and cause the router to handle packets by process switching, use the following command in global configuration mode:

Command	Purpose
no source-bridge transparent ring-groupfastswitch	Disable fast-switched SR/TLB.

Enable Translation Compatibility with IBM 8209 Bridges

To transfer data between IBM 8209 Ethernet/Token Ring bridges and routers running the SR/TLB software (to create a Token Ring backbone to connect Ethernets), use the following command on each Token Ring interface in interface configuration mode:

Command	Purpose
ethernet-transit-oui [90-compatible standard cisco]	Move data between IBM 8209
	Ethernet/Token Ring bridges and
	routers running translational bridging
	software.
