Lms Bridging System Parameters - IBM Nways 8260 Manual

The following sections describe the procedures used to configure the
Multiprotocol Interconnect module to perform one of the following:
11.8.4.1 Configuring for Transparent Bridging
After configuring the system-wide and port parameters, you must do the
following:
1. Select Bridging System Parameters from the Bridge Menu . A panel as

This panel allows you to display and modify the system-wide bridging
parameters for the Multiprotocol Interconnect module. To be able to perform
transparent bridging only, the following options must be specified:
Bridging Facility must be enabled .
Note that this parameter (which is enabled by default), enables the
bridging at the module level. As we will see in the next step, you must
additionally enable bridging at each port which is to perform transparent
bridging.
If the bridging facility is disabled , the packet forwarding/filtering and
learning functions are not performed on any of the ports regardless of
the setting of the bridging parameters on the ports.
SRT Bridge Number must be set to disabled when performing transparent
bridging only.
You may, optionally, modify the following parameters:
