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 Bridging About Source Route-Transparent BridgesAbout Source Route-Translational Bridges Bridging BasicsBridging Basics 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 managementBridging Bridging Viewing and Managing Bridging InterfacesViewing and Managing Bridging Interfaces Viewing and Managing Bridging Interfaces ¥ 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, pageBridging The Bridge Status Window The Bridge Status WindowBridge Status Window Information Fields BridgingBridging Up TimeBridge State on Interface The Bridge Status WindowBridge Address Accessing Other Options from the Bridge Status WindowInterface Type Speedpage 4-11Bridging The Bridge Status WindowThe Bridge Status Window 4-12Bridging The Bridge Status Window 4-13Bridging from the Bridge Status window Enabling and Disabling BridgingEnabling and Disabling Individual Interfaces 4-14Performance Graphs Enabling and Disabling All Installed InterfacesBridge Statistics from the Chassis View windowfrom the Bridge Status window 4-16Bridging from the Chassis View windowFiltered Magenta Bridge Performance Graph Window FieldsFrames Forwarded Green 4-17Conﬁguring the Bridge Performance Graphs Errors RedXmitted Blue The Bridge Detail Breakdown Window4-19 Frames ForwardedFiltered ErrorsForwarded to XmittedThe Bridge Port Detail Breakdown Window Forwarded fromBridging The Interface Statistics Window4-21 from the Bridge Status windowError Statistics Window Fields4-22 BridgingPackets Received The CSMACD Statistics WindowUnknown Protocol Transmit Queue Size4-24 Receive ErrorsAlignment BridgingTransmit Errors Receive ErrorsTransmission Errors SQE TestThe PPP Link Statistics Window Collision ErrorsCollision Errors SingleBad Controls ErrorsBad Addresses Packets Too LongStatistics Total ErrorsBad FCSs Local MRURemote to Local Protocol Compression The Dot5 Errors Statistics WindowLocal to Remote Protocol Compression Local to Remote AC Compression4-30 Line ErrorsBurst Errors BridgingCongestion Errors A.
