The ATX Switch Chassis View
2(ethernet2) | Ethernet2 frames are the same as 802.3 frames, except |
| they use the third field (the length field in 802.3) to store |
| a value representing the type of transport packet that is |
| encapsulated within the Ethernet packet. |
3(ieee802.2) | 802.2 is the default for |
| are the same as 802.3 frames, except they have Logical |
| Link Control (LLC) information encoded within them |
| immediately following the 802.3 length field. |
4(snap) | SNAP frame types use the SNAP encapsulation method |
| within 802.3 or Ethernet2 frames. This frame type |
| contains higher level protocol information. This frame is |
| the same as 802.3 frames up to length field. The length |
| field is followed by SNAP information which contains |
| protocol information and an “ethertype” field. |
IP Routing
IP is the TCP/IP protocol that specifies how information is to be broken into separate packets, and how those packets are to be addressed in order to be routed over a TCP/IP network.
You may enable any port in your ATX Chassis for IP routing. To access the IP Routing window:
1.Click on the appropriate Port button. A menu will appear.
2.Drag down to IP Config/Routing and release. The IP Config/Routing window, Figure
