3.5.2 Source Routing and SRT
Source routing and SRT bridging can be configured from LCM, or from a
generic MIB browser. It is necessary to configure:
• Bridging method for each port
• Segment (ring) number for each port
• Bridge number for the ATX as a whole
A port must be configured for source routing or SRT before configuring
the segment and bridge numbers. Unlike transparent bridging, source
routing and SRT require explicit designation of segment (ring) numbers
and bridge numbers.
3.5.2.1 Bridging Method
To configure bridging from LCM, enter bridge followed by the port
number, and the keyword sr for source routing or srt for source routing
transparent. For example, to enable IBM source routing on Token Ring
port 9, type:
ATX> bridge 9 sr
To change the port back to transparent bridging, type:
ATX> bridge 9 transparent
3.5.2.2 Segment Number
Segment numbers range from 1 to 4095 and must be unique within the
bridged network. To set the segment number from LCM for either source
routing or source routing transparent, use the
srsegment command,
followed by the port number and the desired segment number. For
example, to set the segment number for port 9 to 109, enter:
ATX> srsegment 9 109
