CONFIGURING BRIDGING AND

8 ROUTING

 

This chapter provides the following procedures:

 

Configuring the Central Node for Boundary Routing

 

Configuring Transparent Bridging

 

Configuring IP Routing

 

Configuring IPX Routing

 

To configure other routing protocols, see Using Enterprise OS Software.

 

 

Configuring the

The model 4x7 bridge/router can be used as a central node in a Boundary

Central Node for

Routing environment. SuperStack II NETBuilder SI bridge/routers can be

Boundary Routing

used as a central node only for Ethernet boundary routers.

 

The model 5xx bridge/router does not support leaf node Boundary

 

Routing.

 

Boundary Routing system architecture treats the remote site as another

 

central site LAN segment, which allows all routing to occur at the central

 

site. Boundary routers require very little or no configuration. You must

 

configure the central site for Boundary Routing by referring to the

 

following chapters in Using Enterprise OS Software:

 

“Configuring Boundary Routing System Architecture”

 

“Configuring Auto Startup”

 

 

Configuring

When transparent bridging is enabled, the bridge forwards packets based

Transparent

on the destination address in the packets it receives. It also learns and

Bridging

records information about the location and addresses of devices on the

 

surrounding networks, based on the source address in the received

 

packets.
