Bridging

The middle section of the Bridge Translation window allows you to select the 
Ethernet frame format the bridge will use to translate various packet types that 
have been transported across Token Ring media.

Figure 2-33. Token Ring Packet Translation

The three Token Ring packet types you can conÞgure for translation are:

¥

Novell packets

¥

IP packets (including ARP packets)

¥

AppleTalk ARP packets

You can set each type of packet to either Enet (Ethernet) or SNAP (Token Ring 
802.5 with SNAP) packet formats.

To set a selected packet type to Enet or SNAP:

1.

Click on the empty Enet or SNAP option button, located to the right of the 
selected packet type. When the option button is filled (

), the selected packet 

format is enabled.

The next section of the window allows you to select the bit ordering of the 
hardware addresses located in the data Þeld of a Novell Token Ring packet. The 
data Þeld contains all bytes of the packet, with the exception of the MAC header 
and CRC byte. For more information about bit ordering and translation, see
