Type ©Quit© to exit Quick Config

Configure Bridging? (Yes, No, Quit): [Yes]

1. In response to Configure Bridging, take one of the following actions:

vEnter y to display the bridging con®guration prompts. The prompts that appear depend on your network con®guration.

vEnter n to skip the bridging con®guration and continue with quick con®guration.

vEnter q to exit quick con®guration. This displays theConfig> prompt. To reenter quick con®guration, enterqc after this prompt.

2.If you have con®gured for DIALs dial-in circuits the following panel will be displayed:

Transparent bridging automatically enabled on DIALs ports? (Yes, No, Quit): [Yes]

Enter y to automatically add transparent bridge ports to the bridge con®guration for each of the DIALs interfaces.

Enter n to automatically disable Bridging on each of the DIALs dial-in interfaces.

3.If you choose to con®gure bridging, Spanning Tree Bridging (STB) will be enabled on all LAN interfaces. You will see the following panels:

Type ©r© any time at this level to restart Bridging Configuration

STB will be enabled on all LAN interfaces

Enter y to con®gure SRT bridging. Otherwise, entern. For each Token-Ring interface in the con®guration, you will be prompted to enable Source Routing on the interface.

Configure SRT Bridging? (Yes, No): [Yes]

You are now configuring the Source Routing part of SRT Bridging

Bridge Number (hex) of this Router (1-F): [A]

4.Enter a bridge number, which is a hexadecimal value from 1 to F that is unique between two parallel segments.

Interface 0 (Port 1) is of type Token Ring

Configure Source Routing on this interface (Yes, No): [Yes]

5.Enter y to con®gure source routing on the interface. The console displays the next two lines.

Configuring Interface 0 (Port 1)

Segment Number (hex) of this Interface (1-FFF): [A1]

Note: The port number increases by one because source routing bridging does not allow a port number of zero.
