Bridge Configuration
relay port. The FRX or SmartSwitch 1800 processor uses these priorities to help 
determine the order in which it will process protocols. The default value for this 
parameter is 0.
LAN Type
This Þeld speciÞes the LAN type for the LAN card you are conÞguring as a bridge 
port. Select Ethernet or Token Ring.
LAN ID
This Þeld is conÞgurable only if you have selected Srb 8025 (Token Ring) as your 
RFC 1490 encapsulation method in the Format Þeld (see above). This ID is only 
used in an 802.5 Source Route environment and is normally assigned by a system 
administrator. It identiÞes the Token Ring adapter to the network.
Each LAN ID must be unique among all LAN IDs throughout the network on 
which this device will operate.
Blocked Flag
This value will cause the port to be enabled (if No) or disabled (if Yes) when the 
device is powered up or rebooted. Whichever state is selected, the port will 
remain in that state until this value is changed or until an enable or disable action 
is performed. The default value is No.
