Configuring Bridging Services
4-20 117351-A Rev. A
Parameter: Source Route Explorer Type
Default: Spanning Tree
Options: Spanning Tree
| All Routes
Function: When the translation bridge software forwards a frame with an unknown
destination address onto the source routed network, it sends the frame as
either an STE (spanning tree explorer) or ARE (all-routes explorer)
frame. By default, the translation bridge is configured to use STE frames,
so as not to burden the source routed network with excessive ARE traffic.
Using STE frames, however, forces all traffic flowing over the translation
bridge to follow the spanning tree route through the network, which may
not be the optimal route.
Instructions: If you are connecting transparent bridge networks across a large source
routed network, you may want to configure the translation bridge to
forward frames as AREs, so that frames can follow routes other than the
spanning tree route across the source routed LAN. Consider, however,
that AREs may generate an unacceptable level of traffic on the larger
network.
MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.1.1.2.11.9
Parameter: SAPS
Default: 000408F0F4FC
Options: Any hexadecimal value
Function: The translation bridge supports the transfer of LLC traffic, as indicated by
the SAP (service access point) value. This parameter allows you to
designate the SAPs that identify the protocols you want the translation
bridge to accept and translate. By default, the translation bridge accepts
NetBIOS, SNA, and LNM (LAN Network Manager) SAPs.
Instructions: Specify SAPs that the translation bridge will accept.
