Bridging 27
T0008-16F Release 5.2M
Configuring the PathBuilder S200 Series Switch for Bridging Operation
Parameters These parameters make up the Bridge Link Record.
Note
The following parameter appears if you enter 5 top 36 at the Entry Number
parameter.
Entry Number
Range: 1, 5 to 36
Default: 1
Description: Specify the Bridge Link number that references this record. Two
Ethernet LANs can be configured on the PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and
27x switch using 1 and 2. Links 1-4 are reserved for LAN port
connections.
There are 32 possible WAN Bridge Links, numbered 5 to 36. Bridges
are formed by PVC/SVC connections to WAN bridge links in remote
PathBuilder S200 series switch. Each bridge link used in a WAN
connection is connected to a remote bridge link and such an arrange-
ment forms a bridge between the two LANs.
At the destination node, the routing table must have an entry that lists
the destination port as LCON (LAN Connection). This allows the call
to be directed to a connection on the WAN Adapter.
Bridge_Type
Range: SR, TB, BOTH_SR_AND_TB
Default: TB
Description: This is the bridge type for links connecting to WANs. It defines the
kind of bridging that will be employed on the link. It applies only
to WAN links, number 5 to 36, the maximum number of links
allowed.
Choose:
• TB - to perform Transparent Bridging
• BOTH_SR_AND_TB - when you perform mixed LAN
bridging operation. This lets the node perform TB and SRB
operations simultaneously.
Bridge ID
Range: 0 to 15
Default: 1
Description: A bridge number uniquely identifies a bridge when more than one
bridge is used to span the same two segments. This should match
the Bridge ID of the remote Bridge half.
