Bridging

2-56

Interface Configuration

When the bridge is set to Source Route Transparent, the bridge will transmit both 
transparent and source route frames. The frames received which have source 
route information will be transmitted as source route, while frames received that 
are transparent will be transmitted as transparent.

1.

Click on the option button next to the bridging mode you would like your Token 
Ring bridge port to use: Transparent Bridge, Source Routing, or Source 
Route Transparent.

2.

Click on Set to apply the desired mode.

The options in the Protocol Transmission for Unknown Address Þeld are as 
follows:

Determines whether IP frames received at the interface should be forwarded as 
transparent frames, source route frames, or both.

Determines whether IPX frames received at the interface should be forwarded as 
transparent frames, source route frames, or both.

Determines whether NetBIOS frames received at the interface should be 
forwarded as transparent frames, source route frames, or both.

Determines whether SNA frames received at the interface should be forwarded as 
transparent frames, source route frames, or both.

Determines whether frames of all other protocols not mentioned above (IP, IPX, 
NetBIOS, and SNA) that are received at the interface should be forwarded as 
transparent frames, source route frames, or both.

If Transparent is selected, the frame is forwarded out of the bridge interface as a 
transparent frame. If Source Route is selected, the frame is forwarded out of the 
bridge interface as a source route frame. If Auto is selected, the frame is 
forwarded out of the bridge interface as both a transparent frame and as a source 
route frame.
