Configuring FDDI Frame Translation Settings

format to an Ethernet frame format (and vice versa) when bridging packets between FDDI
and Ethernet networks. The Frame Translation window lets you set the parameters for
frame translation.
To access the FDDI Translation window ( Figure 6-8 ):
1. In the Device View window, click on FDDI to display the FDDI menu.
2. Select Frame Translation.
