5. Configure the
STP Port Parameters
for each token-ring port performing
source-route transparent bridging, as described in 11.8.4.1, “Configuring for
Transparent Bridging” on page 262.
6. Optionally, you may configure the security and filtering parameters as
described in 11.8.5, “Filtering for Bridging Functions” on page 270.
11.8.4.3 Configuring for Translational Bridging
To perform translational bridging between the token-ring and Ethernet ports
attached to the Multiprotocol Interconnect module, both the token-ring and
Ethernet ports must be configured for transparent bridging.
Note
If the token-ring port is enabled for source route transparent bridging, the
Multiprotocol Interconnect module cannot perform translational bridging for
that port.
To configure for translational bridging, you must first configure the Multiprotocol
Interconnect module for transparent bridging as described in 11.8.4.1,
“Configuring for Transparent Bridging” on page 262. Then, you must perform
the following additional steps:
