Bridging
If LLC Layer Translation is selected, translation is performed within the logical link control layer for Novell packets. This translation provides most signiÞcant bit to least signiÞcant bit conversion on the source/destination MAC addresses located in the IPX header. The default choice is LLC Layer Translation.
Devices that support LLC translation include:
If None is selected, no translation is performed. This option should be selected when IPX packets are not traveling from Token Ring to either FDDI or Ethernet media.
To select a translation mode:
1.Click on the empty option button adjacent to the desired translation mode.
2.Click Set to implement the change.
Using the Physical View Windows for the ETWMIM
When you are viewing and conÞguring the bridging capabilities of an ETWMIM, there are a couple special views available. These are described below.
Ethernet Port Physical View
The Physical View allows you to view the physical state of the Ethernet port when you are monitoring an ETWMIM via SPECTRUM Element Manager.
To use the Physical View option from the Bridge Status window:
1.Click on the Ethernet bridge port (Port 1). The Ethernet bridge port menu will appear.
2.Click on Physical View. The ETWMIM EtherPhysStatus (Ethernet Physical Status) window, Figure
To use the Physical View option from the Chassis View window:
1.Click on the Ethernet bridge interface (Port 1). The Ethernet bridge port menu will appear.
