Bridging
Source Route Transparent
When the bridge is set to Source Route Transparent, the bridge will transmit both transparent and source route frames. The frames received which have source route information will be transmitted as source route, while frames received that are transparent will be transmitted as transparent.
Setting the Bridge Method
1.Click on the option button next to the bridging mode you would like your Token Ring bridge port to use: Transparent Bridge, Source Routing, or Source Route Transparent.
2.Click on Set to apply the desired mode.
Protocol Transmission Methods
The options in the Protocol Transmission for Unknown Address Þeld are as follows:
TCP/IP
Determines whether IP frames received at the interface should be forwarded as transparent frames, source route frames, or both.
IPX
Determines whether IPX frames received at the interface should be forwarded as transparent frames, source route frames, or both.
NetBIOS
Determines whether NetBIOS frames received at the interface should be forwarded as transparent frames, source route frames, or both.
SNA
Determines whether SNA frames received at the interface should be forwarded as transparent frames, source route frames, or both.
Other
Determines whether frames of all other protocols not mentioned above (IP, IPX, NetBIOS, and SNA) that are received at the interface should be forwarded as transparent frames, source route frames, or both.
If Transparent is selected, the frame is forwarded out of the bridge interface as a transparent frame. If Source Route is selected, the frame is forwarded out of the bridge interface as a source route frame. If Auto is selected, the frame is forwarded out of the bridge interface as both a transparent frame and as a source route frame.
