Configuring Bridge Ports 11-9
Bridge Configuration
relay port. The FRX or SmartSwitch 1800 processor uses these priorities to help
determine the order in which it will process protocols. The default value for this
parameter is 0.
LAN Type
This Þeld speciÞes the LAN type for the LAN card you are conÞguring as a bridge
port. Select Ethernet or Token Ring.
LAN ID
This Þeld is conÞgurable only if you have selected Srb 8025 (Token Ring) as your
RFC 1490 encapsulation method in the Format Þeld (see above). This ID is only
used in an 802.5 Source Route environment and is normally assigned by a system
administrator. It identiÞes the Token Ring adapter to the network.
Each LAN ID must be unique among all LAN IDs throughout the network on
which this device will operate.
Blocked Flag
This value will cause the port to be enabled (if No) or disabled (if Yes) when the
device is powered up or rebooted. Whichever state is selected, the port will
remain in that state until this value is changed or until an enable or disable action
is performed. The default value is No.
Adding or Modifying LAN Bridge Ports
First, access the Bridge/LLC2 LAN Interface Table (see ConÞguring LAN Bridge
Ports, page 11-7).
To add a new LAN bridge port:
1. Enter the Port and LAN Card numbers, and the other configurable values for
each bridge port.
2. Click on to add your new entry.
To modify an existing entry:
1. In the list box, click to select the LAN Interface you wish to modify. The
selected entry will be highlighted. (Note that you can only modify one entry at
a time.)
2. Edit the fields, as desired. If y ou make some changes , and would lik e to return
to the original values, click on the Refresh button.
3. Click on to modify the selected entry.
TIP
When conÞguring priorities, be sure to consider the types of trafÞc being routed on other
connections in the node.
