Configuring Bridging Services
4-6 114060 Rev. A
Frame Format Selection
The Ethernet Version 2 and Ethernet 802.3 protocols transmit data using different
formats for frames. For example, in Ethernet Version 2, the first section of the
frame (the preamble) requires eight octets. For Ethernet 802.3 frames, the
preamble is seven octets long. The translation bridge converts the frames it
receives from the SR network to either Ethernet Version 2 or Ethernet 802.3
format. Then the translation bridge sends the frames to the transparent bridge for
forwarding.
When you configure the translation bridge, you select a default conversion, either
Ethernet 802.3 or Ethernet Version 2. When the translation bridge receives a frame
from the SR network, it converts the frame to the format you specified as the
default. You can specify exceptions to the default so that frames destined for
certain endstations use the other frame format.
Frame Lengths
SR and TB networks often use different maximum frame lengths. For example,
Ethernet networks support a maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of 1500
bytes, while Token Ring networks support much larger MTUs.
To resolve these differences, the translation bridge software specifies a maximum
size of 1470 in the largest-frame-size bits of the routing information field on all
frames forwarded to the SR network. The translation bridge cannot forward
frames it receives from the SR network that are larger than 1500 bytes.
MAC Address Formats
Ethernet networks transmit the least significant bit of each byte of a MAC address
first, while Token Ring networks transmit the most significant bit first. The
translation bridge, therefore, reverses the bits in the source and destination
addresses in the header of each frame it transfers between Ethernet and Token
Ring networks. You can also define explicit mappings between Ethernet group
addresses and Token Ring functional addresses. (Refer to “Editing
Translation
Bridge MAC Address Conversions” later in this chapter for details about MAC
address conversions.)
