Configuring FDDI Frame Translation Settings 6-19
FDDI Management
Translate all Novell FDDI SNAP frames to
This selection box lets you set the translation parameters for Novell IPX FDDI SNAP
frames. Possible options are Ethernet II (default, for most TCP/IP traffic), Ethernet
SNAP (AppleTalk networks), Ethernet 802.3 (some NetWare 3.12+ or other network s
running an ISO/OSI protocol stack), or Ethernet 802.3 Raw (NetWare 3.11 and earlier
networks).
Translate all Novell FDDI 802.2 frames to
This selection box lets you set the translation parameters for Novell IPX FDDI 802.2
frames. Possible options are Ethernet II, Ethernet SNAP, Ethernet 802.3 (default), or
Ethernet 802.3 Raw.
Translate all Novell FDDI MAC frames to
This selection box lets you set the translation parameters for Novell IPX FDDI MAC
frames (i.e., received from a NetWare 3.11 or earlier network, and translated into FDDI
MAC frames). Possible options are Ethernet II (most TCP/IP networks), Ethernet
SNAP (AppleTalk Networks), Ethernet 802.3 (some NetWare 3.12+ and other networks
running an ISO/OSI protocol stack), or Ethernet 802.3 Raw (default – NetWare 3.11 or
earlier networks).
Auto Learn Novell Frame Translation
Some of Enterasys’ FDDI/Ethernet bridges can automatically learn the appropriate frame
translation type by the source address received at the Ethernet interface. If this option is
enabled, Novell IPX frames destined to a previously learned source address will be
translated to the appropriate frame type for that address (as determined by its previously
transmitted frames). If the destination address is unknown, the default frame translation
will be used for the frame. Possible options are Enabled or Disabled.
