Chapter 3: Configuring

3.5.2Source Routing and SRT

Source routing and SRT bridging can be configured from LCM, or from a generic MIB browser. It is necessary to configure:

Bridging method for each port

Segment (ring) number for each port

Bridge number for the ATX as a whole

A port must be configured for source routing or SRT before configuring the segment and bridge numbers. Unlike transparent bridging, source routing and SRT require explicit designation of segment (ring) numbers and bridge numbers.

3.5.2.1Bridging Method

To configure bridging from LCM, enter bridge followed by the port number, and the keyword sr for source routing or srt for source routing transparent. For example, to enable IBM source routing on Token Ring port 9, type:

ATX> bridge 9 sr

To change the port back to transparent bridging, type:

ATX> bridge 9 transparent

3.5.2.2Segment Number

Segment numbers range from 1 to 4095 and must be unique within the bridged network. To set the segment number from LCM for either source routing or source routing transparent, use the srsegment command, followed by the port number and the desired segment number. For example, to set the segment number for port 9 to 109, enter:

ATX> srsegment 9 109
