38 Bridging

Configuring the PathBuilder S200 Series Switch for Bridging Operation

Figure 18. Translational Bridging Example

Figure 19 shows a situation where a PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch is

configured for translational bridging with SVCs/PVCs originating from two re motes.

Multiple remote Ethernet and Token Ring LANs may attach to the local Token Ring

via the PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch with Translational Bridging.
