Bridging
Source Route Transparent
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.
Setting the Bridge Method
1. Click on the radio 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.
Defining the Protocol Transmission
The choices in the Protocol Transmission for Unknown Address Þeld are deÞned
as follows:
TCP/IP
Determines whether IP frames received at the interface should be forwarded as a
transparent frame, source route frame, or both.
IPX
Determines whether IPX frames received at the interface should be forwarded as
a transparent frame, source route frame, or both.
NetBIOS
Determines whether NetBIOS frames received at the interface should be
forwarded as a transparent frame, source route frame, or both.
SNA
Determines whether SNA frames received at the interface should be forwarded as
a transparent frame, source route frame, or both.
Other
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 a
transparent frame, source route frame, 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.
