Bridging Service
Source-Routing Bridging
Configuring Source-Routing Bridging
The parameters commonly used for configuring source routing globally for
the bridging service include the following:
Internal LAN ID
Bridge ID
Source Route Bridge ID
Hop Count Reduction
Group LAN ID
Translational Bridge
The parameters commonly used to configure source routing for each
individual bridging circuit group include the following:
Src Rte
LAN ID
Block STE
Translational Bridge
Internal LAN ID
the internal LAN ID assigns a numeric identifier to the bridge, which is
used in constructing routing designators. The internal LAN ID is also
known as a virtual LAN ID. Each internal LAN ID must be unique among
all internal LAN IDs and LAN IDs throughout the network, and be
different from the group LAN ID.
Bridge ID
routing bridge (this router). To keep the hop count partially reduced
(see the preceding section on hop count reduction, it should generally
match the bridge ID assigned to all other HP (or Wellfleet) routers on
the network. However, the bridge ID or IDs you assign to HP routers
must be different than those used by any other bridge on the network.
If Hop Count Reduction is enabled, then the bridge IDs for the bridging
routers can be either the same or different.
If translational bridging (TRNSB) is being used on this router, then you must
assign it a unique bridge ID.
