Port Mode, Novell Translation, Ring Speed | Cabletron Systems 2.2

Bridging

Port Mode

Displays the three port mode options that are deÞned as follows:

¥LobeÑallows direct-attach station connections (acting as a concentrator port).

¥StationÑprovides station emulation.

¥TPIM RI/ROÑallows attachment to Þber TPIMs on standard workgroup hubs or direct-attachment to devices, such as servers, via Þber adapter cards. If the device does not support this mode of operation, this option will be grayed out.

Novell Translation

Displays the three bit-order options that are available for translationÑEnable LLC (Logical Link Control Translation), Enable DLC (Data Link Layer Translation), and Disable (No translation will take place). See Using the Novell Translation Window, page 2-97, for more information.

Ring Speed

Displays the selected ring speed, 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps.

Bridge Mode/Explorer Type

Displays the available bridging mode and explorer frame type combinations:

Source Route	Indicates the bridge forwards packets
Transparent/Transparent	so they know the route and the devices they
	pass through to reach their destination.
	Explorer frames have no embedded routing
	information
Source Route	Indicates that the bridge forwards packets
Transparent/Are	so they know the route and the devices they
	pass through to reach their destination.
	ARE (All Routes Explorer) packets are sent
	to the destination station if the sending
	station does not receive a response to a test
	packet.
Source Route	Indicates that the bridge forwards packets so
Transparent/STE	they know the route and the devices they
	pass through to reach their destination.
	STE (Spanning Tree Explorer) packets are
	sent to the destination station if the sending
	station does not receive a response to a test
	packet.
Source Route/ARE	Indicates that the bridge forwards packets
	so they do not know the route or the
	devices they pass through to reach their
	destination. ARE (All Routes Explorer)
