To set the Bridge Number or the Virtual Ring Number in the Bridge ConÞguration window:

1.Click in the Bridge Number or the Virtual Ring Number ﬁeld in the upper portion of the Bridge Conﬁguration window. Enter a hexadecimal value between 0 and F in the Bridge Number ﬁeld, or a hexadecimal value between 001 and FFF in the Virtual Ring Number ﬁeld.

2.Click on Set to apply the change, or click on Cancel to exit the window without applying the change.

To set the Ring Number in the Port ConÞguration window:

1.Click in the Ring Number ﬁeld in the upper portion of the Port Conﬁguration window. Enter a hexadecimal value between 001 and FFF.

2.Click on Set to apply the change, or click on Cancel to exit the window without applying the change.

To set the Port Mode globally for all bridge interfaces on a device in the Bridge ConÞguration window or for an individual interface in the Port ConÞguration window:

1. Click on the empty radio button adjacent to either choice in the Port Mode ﬁeld,Lobe(DTR) or Station. When the radio button is ﬁlled ( ), the selected choice will be enabled.

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 ringsBridging Basics About Source Route-Translational Bridges About Source Route-Transparent BridgesBridging Bridging BasicsFor 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.
