Bridging
If the sending station does not receive a response to the test packet, it will send explorer packets to the destination the explorer packets will be propagated by the networkÕs bridges as either All Paths Explorer APE packets or as Spanning Tree Explorer STE packets. The task of both packet types is to get the destination station to return speciÞc route information to the sending station by including an identiÞer for each ring the explorer packet traversed and for each bridge between any rings

For data that is restricted to the Token Ring networks available from the SR-TB bridgeÕs front panel, the bridging method used is user-conÞgurable via local management to be Source Route-only bridged packets must include RIF information and will be source routed no transparent bridging is enabled, Source Route-Transparent bridging method will be determined by whether the RII bit is set, or Transparent only no source routed packets will be bridged. Remote management of these interfaces is based upon their current mode as set through local management

¥ The SmartTrunk option invokes the SmartTrunk ConÞguration and Status window, which enables you to group interfaces logically to achieve greater bandwidth between devices, if both devices support the SmartTrunk feature. There is no limit to the number of ports that can be included in a single Òtrunk,Ó nor is there a limit to the number of trunked ÒinstancesÓ that can be supported see ConÞguring SmartTrunking, page
