IBM 8260 manual Port Configuration Summary, Configuring for Bridging Support, ∙ Encapsulation

∙Encapsulation

This is a read-only parameter and shows the type of encapsulation used on the physical port to which this logical port is attached. In the case of a token-ring port, this field will show tokenRing.

∙Attach Port and Detach Port

These parameters are used to attach/detach logical ports to/from WAN physical ports. They are not applicable to LAN ports.

11.8.3Port Configuration Summary

The following is the summary of the steps you may need to perform for each port on the Multiprotocol Interconnect module:

1.Using Physical Port List panel assign a name to each LAN port.

2.For token-ring ports only, use the Physical Port Protocol Parameter panel to specify the following:

∙

∙

∙

Ring speed for the adapter

Functional addresses for which this adapter accepts frames

Whether or not the adapter should contend to become an active monitor

3.Using the Logical Port Parameters panel assign a name to each logical port.

11.8.4Configuring for Bridging Support

To configure the Multiprotocol Interconnect module for bridging, you must select the Bridge Menu from the Configuration Menu. This panel allows you to display and modify the configuration parameters relevant to the bridging function(s) of the Multiprotocol Interconnect module. The bridge menu panel is shown in Figure 150.
