USER’S GUIDE

BRIDGE INFORMATION CONFIGURATION ELEMENTS

IP (SUB) NETWORK NUMBER

If the CyberSWITCH uses an IP RLAN interface to connect to a remote bridge, you must provide this information.

This address associates the bridge with the IP network to which it connects. Enter this address using dotted decimal notation. This parameter applies to the network-portion of the IP address only. Note that if you change the IP address under the IP information menu selection, this parameter will reflect that change.

ENABLE/DISABLE BRIDGING

You may enable or disable bridging on a per device basis. You must enable bridging for remote LAN devices, which indicates that the remote device is a bridge and not a router.

MAKE CALLS FOR BRIDGE DATA

You must enable this element to allow bridge dial out to function. You must also complete the following configuration:

•Enable bridging at the system level and at the per-device level.

•Either add the device to the CyberSWITCH’s Known Connect List, or configure a bridge con- nection filter. For information regarding the Known Connect List, refer to page 285. For infor- mation regarding bridge filters, refer to page 269.

Note: This feature is not yet supported for IPX Remote LANs.

IPX REMOTE LAN NETWORK NUMBER

If the CyberSWITCH uses an IPX RLAN interface to connect to a remote bridge, you may choose to change this information.

This parameter associates the bridge with the IPX network to which it connects. Enter the IPX external network number of the remote LAN, or accept the default value of none.

If this parameter remains none, the CyberSWITCH will assume the network number is that of the first configured IPX Remote LAN interface. This is convenient in applications in which remote LANs consist only of clients (thus no explicit external network address), all of which are on the same external virtual LAN.

If you choose to change this parameter, you must specify the IPX external network number used on the remote LAN in question. This value must be the same as the value configured for the corresponding IPX Remote LAN interface.

IPX SPOOFING OPTIONS

Note: This feature is not yet supported for IPX Remote LANs. Do not attempt to configure.

APPLETALK NETWORK NUMBER

If the CyberSWITCH uses an AppleTalk WAN (Remote LAN) port to connect to a remote bridge, you may choose to change this information.

This parameter associates the bridge with the AppleTalk network to which it connects. Enter the AppleTalk network number/range (which corresponds to a configured AppleTalk Remote LAN port), or accept the default value of none. If this parameter remains none, the CyberSWITCH will assume an association with the first configured AppleTalk Remote LAN port.
