SRT Bridging Example
In Figure 17, a Token Ring and an Ethernet at a remote sales site in New York City must be configured
to pass unroutable bridged traffic across a satellite link to the backbone Token Ring at the corporate
headquarters in Thule, Greenland. IP is the only routed protocol. They are running the IEEE
Spanning-Tree Protocol to comply with the SRT bridging standard.
If there were source-routed traffic to bridge, the source-bridge command would also be used to
configure source routing.
