Cabletron Systems CSX200 Setting the Bridge Method, Defining the Protocol Transmission, Tcp/Ip

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 radio 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.

Defining the Protocol Transmission

The choices in the Protocol Transmission for Unknown Address Þeld are deÞned as follows:

TCP/IP

Determines whether IP frames received at the interface should be forwarded as a transparent frame, source route frame, or both.

IPX

Determines whether IPX frames received at the interface should be forwarded as a transparent frame, source route frame, or both.

NetBIOS

Determines whether NetBIOS frames received at the interface should be forwarded as a transparent frame, source route frame, or both.

SNA

Determines whether SNA frames received at the interface should be forwarded as a transparent frame, source route frame, 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 a transparent frame, source route frame, 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.
