Mixed LAN Operation
Result/Description
The CTP is physically connected to
the device you are configuring.
The Port record appears.
Two new parameters,
Bridge Link
and
Number Router Interface
appear in the record.
This matches this port
configuration to a specific bridge
link number within the bridging
configuration. If the bridge link
you select is already used, a
warning message appears, but your
input is retained in the CMEM.
This matches this port
configuration to a router link
number within the router

interface number you select is
already used, a warning message
appears, but your input is retained
in the CMEM.
This saves the record.
