  • Page 7: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION Welcome to Cabletron Systems MicroMMAC Local Management Routing Addendum. The purpose of this document is to assist the user to configure the MicroMMac for routing. Use this document as a guide in Local Management routing. The MicroMMAC Kit (Part Number MicroE-W6RS-LIC) contains the memory and firmware to upgrade the operating system of the MicroMMAC.

  • Page 8: Micro Mmac Protocol Support

    MMAC Protocol Support ICRO MMAC PROTOCOL SUPPORT ICRO The following sections discuss protocol support on the MicroMMAC including WAN protocols, data compression, bridging and routing, and protocol filtering. WAN PROTOCOLS The MicroMMAC, with a BRIM-W6 installed, supports the following WAN protocols over the WAN port: •...

  • Page 9: Bridging And Routing

    Bridging and Routing BRIDGING AND ROUTING Bridging — Bridging creates separate segments on a network. The bridge examines a portion of each network frame called the header. This header contains control information for the frame. The bridge compares the destination address of the frame to a table of source addresses. If the address indicates that the sending station and the destination station are on the same side of the bridge, the frame is discarded.

  • Page 10: Micrommac Bridging And Routing

    MMAC Protocol Support ICRO 2.3.1 MicroMMAC Bridging and Routing The MicroMMAC can operate as a bridge, a router, or both. The MicroMMAC operates as a router for network protocols that are supported when routing is enabled and operates as a bridge when bridging is enabled.

  • Page 11: Protocol Filtering

    Protocol Filtering IP routing support provides the ability to process TCP/IP IP Routing — frames at the network layer for routing. IP routing support includes the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) that allows the exchange of routing information on a TCP/IP network. The MicroMMAC receives and broadcasts RIP messages to adjacent routers and workstations.
  • Page 12 MMAC Protocol Support ICRO Bridge Filtering Bridge filtering enables a network administrator to control the flow of packets across the MicroMMAC. Bridge filtering can be used to “deny” or “allow” packets based on a “matched pattern” using a specified position and hexadecimal content within the packet. This enables restricting or forwarding of messages based on address, protocol, or data content.
