Setting Bridge Translation 2-93

Bridging
Configuring Token Ring Packet Translation
The middle section of the Bridge Translation window allows you to select the
Ethernet frame format the bridge will use to translate various packet types that
have been transported across Token Ring media.
Figure 2-33. Token Ring Packet Translation
The three Token Ring packet types you can conÞgure for translation are:
¥ Novell packets
¥ IP packets (including ARP packets)
¥ AppleTalk ARP packets
You can set each type of packet to either Enet (Ethernet) or SNAP (Token Ring
802.5 with SNAP) packet formats.
To set a selected packet type to Enet or SNAP:
1. Click on the empty Enet or SNAP option button, located to the right of the
selected packet type. When the option button is filled ( ), the selected packet
format is enabled.
Configuring Novell Token Ring Packet Translation
The next section of the window allows you to select the bit ordering of the
hardware addresses located in the data Þeld of a Novell Token Ring packet. The
data Þeld contains all bytes of the packet, with the exception of the MAC header
and CRC byte. For more information about bit ordering and translation, see
Using the Novell Translation Window, page 2-97.

NOTE
For the Novell Token Ring packet the SNAP format is invalid. When the SNAP format is
selected the packet will actually be translated into Novell 802.3 format.
If you are using Appletalk Phase-II, the mode of Appletalk ARP should be set to SNAP.
