2.2DESCRIPTION

The Patton Model 2135 MicroBridge is an Ethernet Bridge that provides LAN extension when used in conjunction with a V.35 DCE device, such as a DSU/CSU, NTU, or router. The Model 2135 performs transparent Ethernet bridging and functions at the MAC level, thus is transparent to higher level protocols such as TCP/IP, DECnet, NET- BIOS, and IPX network protocols. Only broadcast, multicast, or frames set up for peered LAN are forwarded. The Model 2135 is 802.3 Ethernet compliant and supports PPP Bridging Control Protocol (RFC 1638) on the DTE side.
