You can set the translation for the following protocols from this window:
IPX Framing
By selecting the option Enable IPX Translation you can specify whether, when
bridging Novell IPX frames, they are to be translated to Ethernet-like frame
format. When you initially select this option, the IPX Framing selection button
will be empty. This button's pull-down menu allows you to choose the type of
framing to be used for IPX frames on 802.3 networks. You can choose from one of
the following selections:
ethernet802.3 (1)
ethernet2 (2)
ieee802.2 (3)
IPX Source Route
This selection will specify what will occur when bridging IPX packets that are
also source routing explorer frames. The source routing information can either be
stripped or forwarded. Choose one of the following options for this field:
pass-Rif (1)
stripRif (2)
passBoth (3)
none (4)
ARP Translate
You can configure ARP Translation on the Token Ring port by choosing one of the
options from the ARP Translate pull-down menu. These options will designate
the way internet ARP packets are translated. There are two options for ARP
Translation.
none (1)
1 to 6 swap (6)
Managing the Hub
specifies that the 802.3 header is to be used without a
802.2 header.
specifies that Ethernet-2 framing should be used.
specifies than an LLC header is to be used along with the
802.3 header
The IPX frame is bridged as is, with the route discovery
proceeding as expected.
The routing information field will be stripped before it is
forwarded. This allows non-source routing (e.g.,
Ethernet) IPX hosts to communicate transparently.
Both the original source-routed frame and the
transparent equivalent are forwarded. This provides the
maximum connectivity, but adds some network traffic.
No translation will be set and the IPX frame will be
bridged as is. This is the same as setting the translation to
pass RIF. None is the default value for this option.
indicates that the ARP packets will not be translated.
specifies that received hardware type 6 (IEEE 802)
packets will be converted to type 1 (Ethernet, FDDI) and
that transmitted type 1 ARP packets will be converted to
type 6, with embedded addresses bitswapped.
