Enabling and Disabling Auto and Dual Translate Modes

When Auto Translate mode is enabled, the bridge will learn, from its Ethernet ports, which frame format each source address is using. When the bridge forwards a Token Ring packet to one of these learned source addresses, it will automatically translate the packet to the correct frame format.

When Dual Translate mode is enabled, the bridge will translate a Token Ring broadcast or multicast packet to both Ethernet frame formats (i.e., Ethernet Type-II and Novell 802.3) when the format has not been learned previously.

To enable or disable translation:

1. Click on the empty Enable or Disable option button. When the option button is ﬁlled ( ), the selected translation mode is enabled or disabled.

NOTE

When Auto Translate mode is enabled, it will override any other settings you conÞgure in this window.
