For additional source addresses, the system module assigns locations
alternately to other Token-Ring ports in the CrossLink. When all the Token-
Ring ports in the CrossLink have at least one address assigned, the system
module starts assigning from the primary port again.
•
New destination address. An unknown destination address packet is sent out
on the primary Token-Ring ports of the CrossLink, but entries are not made in
ports tables until a reply packet comes back. Entries in port tables depend upon
the destination. See the description of primary ports on page 100.
•
Broadcast and multicast packets. Broadcast and multicast packets go to the
primary port of each CrossLink.
•
Link failure. If one link in a CrossLink fails, a trap is sent and the entire
CrossLink connection is disabled.
