Setting the Bridge Mode

Depending on the modules installed in your ATX chassis the ATX ports can support up to three modes of bridging: Transparent, Source Routing, and Source Route Transparent.

•Transparent — When the bridge port is set to Transparent mode, the bridge will only transmit transparent frames. All port types (ethernet, fast ethernet, fddi, and token ring) may be set to transparent mode.

•Source Route— When the bridge port is set to Source Route mode, the bridge port will only transmit source route frames. Only token ring ports may be set to source routing mode; therefore, this option will only be available on token ring ports.

•SRT (Source Route Transparent) — When the bridge port is set to Source Route Transparent, the bridge port will transmit both transparent and source route frames. All port types (ethernet, fast ethernet, fddi, and token ring) may be set to source route transparent mode. The frames received which have source route information will be transmitted as source route, while frames received that are transparent will be transmitted as transparent.

To set the bridge mode:

1.Click on the Bridge Mode selection button; a menu will appear.

2.Select the appropriate bridge mode from the window. This mode will now be displayed on the button.

3.Click on to set this conﬁguration on the bridge port.
