If the device that is being monitored via SPECTRUM Element Manager is set to

used for a given Source Address from its Ethernet MAC address.

used for a given Source Address from its Ethernet MAC address.
However, when the Token Ring bridge port receives a frame from an unlearned
Ethernet MAC address, it is necessary to conÞgure the default Token
Ring-to-Ethernet frame translation. When the bridge is operating in Auto
Translation Mode, the learned frame type for a given Ethernet MAC address will
override the default setting which may be conÞgured in this window.
