Implementation Notes
This section contains some basic guidelines for adding Bay Networks source
routing bridges to your network. It also describes some of the configuration
features that may match your network requirements.
Assigning Bridge IDs, Internal LAN IDs, and Group LAN IDs
When you enable the source routing bridge on the router, you must specify its
bridge ID and internal LAN ID. The source routing bridge uses these routing
designators and the group LAN ID to source-route packets through the network.
The following sections describe each of these routing designators in detail.
Bridge ID
The bridge ID is a standard source routing designator that identifies a bridge in the
network. When you assign the bridge ID, make sure you follow these guidelines:
• Assign the same bridge ID to all other Bay Networks source routing bridges
on the network unless the bridges operate in parallel.
• Assign bridge IDs to Bay Networks bridges that are unique among all bridges
on the network.
