2TRSM Description
TRSM Description The Token Ring Switching Module (TRSM) is designed to add Token Ring (TR) switching functionality to the LANplex 6000, providing the most cost effective solution for introducing segmentation for today's Token Ring networks, while allowing you to prepare for future higher bandwidth requirements such as multimedia applications.
The TRSM has eight shielded
TRSM Configurable The TRSM is architected to support both source routed or transparent Bridge Modes traffic types in the following modes:
■Transparent (T)
■Source Routing (SR)
■Source
The TRSM fully complies with the IEEE 802.1d bridging standard, which means that the module:
■Learns source addresses from packets transmitted by stations on LANs attached to TRSM ports
■Ages addresses of stations on attached LANs that have not transmitted a packet for a prolonged time
■Stores and forwards packets from one attached LAN to another
■Uses the Spanning Tree protocol for loop detection
The TRSM automatically “learns” the
