Configuring The Bridge - 3Com 3C63100-AC-C - PathBuilder S600 Bridge/router Reference Manual

Configuring the Bridge
4 Configure input shapers for the Ethernet card.
a From the Ethernet Configuration menu, select [4] Shaper Configuration to
display the Ethernet Shapers screen. This screen is the same as the MCPU Input
Shapers screen, shown earlier in this chapter in Figure 86.
b To enter a new shaper value, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move to
the cell in the shaper table that you want to change.
You can set three input shaper parameters for the Ethernet card:
Peak Cell Rate (PCR)
n
Sustained Cell Rate (SCR)
n
Maximum Burst Size (MBS)
n
For detailed instructions about configuring input shapers, see "Configuring
Input Shapers" earlier in this chapter.
c Press [Esc] to return to the Ethernet Configuration menu.
5 Configure virtual interfaces for the Ethernet card.
a From the Ethernet Configuration menu, select [5] Virtual Interfaces to open the
Virtual Interfaces Configuration menu. This menu is the same as the MCPU
Virtual Interfaces Configuration menu, shown earlier in this chapter, in
Figure 83.
b Configure virtual interfaces as described under "Configuring Virtual Interfaces"
earlier in this chapter. You configure virtual interfaces for the Ethernet card in
the same way that you configure virtual interfaces for the MCPU card, except
that you can configure 24 VIs total for the Ethernet card, as opposed to 2 for
the MCPU card.
All of the virtual channels assigned to a particular slot and port form a network
bridge. In order to enable the Ethernet port to operate, you must configure the
bridge with the required user-filtering options and an aging timer value.
To configure the bridge, follow these steps:
1 From the Configuration Management menu, shown earlier in Figure 79, select [3]
Manage Bridge to display the Manage Bridge menu, shown in Figure 108.
