If two or more Bay Networks bridges operate in parallel, you must assign different
bridge IDs. You must also specify the other Bay Networks bridge ID in the entry
list for each bridge.
For example, in Figure 2-13
, Bay Networks bridges A, C, and D all have the same
bridge ID (A). However, because bridges B and C operate in parallel, bridge B has
a different bridge ID (B). You specify this bridge ID (B) in the Bridge Entry list
for bridges A, C, and D. This ensures that the bridges know bridge B is active on
the network. Similarly, you specify the bridge ID (A) for bridge B on the Bridge
Entry list so that it knows bridges A, C, and D are active on the network.
