You can set the translation for the following protocols from this window:

IPX Framing

By selecting the option Enable IPX Translation you can specify whether, when bridging Novell IPX frames, they are to be translated to Ethernet-like frame format. When you initially select this option, the IPX Framing selection button will be empty. This button’s pull-down menu allows you to choose the type of framing to be used for IPX frames on 802.3 networks. You can choose from one of the following selections:

ethernet802.3 (1)	speciﬁes that the 802.3 header is to be used without a
	802.2 header.
ethernet2 (2)	speciﬁes that Ethernet-2 framing should be used.
ieee802.2 (3)	speciﬁes than an LLC header is to be used along with the
	802.3 header

IPX Source Route

This selection will specify what will occur when bridging IPX packets that are also source routing explorer frames. The source routing information can either be stripped or forwarded. Choose one of the following options for this ﬁeld:

pass-Rif (1)	The IPX frame is bridged as is, with the route discovery
	proceeding as expected.
stripRif (2)	The routing information ﬁeld will be stripped before it is
	forwarded. This allows non-source routing (e.g.,
	Ethernet) IPX hosts to communicate transparently.
passBoth (3)	Both the original source-routed frame and the
	transparent equivalent are forwarded. This provides the
	maximum connectivity, but adds some network trafﬁc.
none (4)	No translation will be set and the IPX frame will be
	bridged as is. This is the same as setting the translation to
	pass RIF. None is the default value for this option.

ARP Translate

You can conﬁgure ARP Translation on the Token Ring port by choosing one of the options from the ARP Translate pull-down menu. These options will designate the way internet ARP packets are translated. There are two options for ARP Translation.

none (1)	indicates that the ARP packets will not be translated.
1 to 6 swap (6)	speciﬁes that received hardware type 6 (IEEE 802)
	packets will be converted to type 1 (Ethernet, FDDI) and
	that transmitted type 1 ARP packets will be converted to
	type 6, with embedded addresses bitswapped.
