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 remotes. 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.
