Chapter 2 — Connecting to the Network
Before You Start
This chapter provides detailed information about your AsantéBridge and some pointers on different ways you can con- nect it to your network.
The chapter opens with About Bridging, a short introduction to transparent learning bridges and how these features are imple- mented in the AsantéBridge 1012.
Using the 3in1 Port gives practical guidelines for connecting to your network using any of three possible methods:AUI, BNC, or an RJ45 In/Out link.
Configuring a Redundant Link describes how you can set up a second, parallel, 3in1 port connection that automatically becomes active if you lose your primary connection link.
