2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 2121/2135C MicroBridge is an Ethernet
Bridge that provides LAN extension when used in conjunction
with a X.21 or V.35 DCE device, such as a DSU/CSU, NTU,
or router. The Model 2121/2135C performs transparent
Ethernet bridging and functions at the MAC level, thus is
transparent to higher level protocols such as TCP/IP, DECnet,
NETBIOS, and IPX network protocols. Only broadcast, multi-
cast, or frames set up for peered LAN are forwarded. The
Model 2121/2135C is 802.3 Ethernet compliant and supports
PPP Bridging Control Protocol (RFC 1638) on the DTE side.
