SRB Configuration Examples

Assume that the following configuration for SRB and transparent bridging existed before you wanted to enable SR/TLB:

interface tokenring 0 source-bridge 1 1 2

!

interface tokenring 1 source-bridge 2 1 1

!

interface ethernet 0 bridge-group 1

!

interface ethernet 0 bridge-group 1

!

bridge 1 protocol dec

To enable SR/TLB, one aspect of this configuration must change immediately—a third ring must be configured. Before SR/TLB, the two Token Ring interfaces were communicating with two-port local source-route bridging; after SR/TLB, these two interfaces must be reconfigured to communicate through a virtual ring, as follows:

source-bridge ring-group 10

!

interface tokenring 0 source-bridge 1 1 10

!

interface tokenring 1 source-bridge 2 1 10

!

interface ethernet 0 bridge-group 1

!

interface ethernet 1 bridge-group 1

!

bridge 1 protocol dec

Now you are ready to determine two things:

A ring number for the pseudo-ring that is unique throughout the source-route bridged network. For the preceding example configuration, use the number 3.

A bridge number for the path to the pseudo-ring. For the preceding example configuration, use the number 1.
