2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Model 2124/2130 MicroBridge is an Ethernet Bridge that pro- vides LAN extension when used in conjunction with a V.24 or EIA-530 DCE device, such as a DSU/CSU, NTU, or router. The Model 2124/2130 performs transparent Ethernet bridging and functions at the MAC level, thus is transparent to higher level protocols such as TCP/IP, DECnet, NETBIOS, and IPX network protocols. Only broadcast, multicast, or frames set up for peered LAN are forwarded. The Model 2124/2130 is

802.3Ethernet compliant and supports PPP Bridging Control Protocol (RFC 1638) on the DTE side.
