Slide 1: Chapter 11 Source-Route Transparent and Source-Route Translational Bridging 11-1 Copyright © 1998, Cisco Systems, Inc. Slide 2: Objectives Upon completion of this chapter, you will be able to perform the following: • Explain considerations for mixed-topology bridging. • Define source-route transparent bridging. • Configure source-route transparent bridging. • Define source-route translational bridging. • Configure source-route translational bridging. 11-2—SNAM—Source-Route Transparent and Source-Route Translational Bridging Copyright © 1998, Cisco Systems, Inc. Slide 3: Mixed-Topology Bridging A Token Ring B Problem: Broadcast CMSA/CD • Ethernet bridges are transparent. • MAC address is bit reversed. • Token Ring 02-06-80-01-02-03. • Packet size maximum 1516 bytes. Token passing • Token Ring bridges use RIF. • MAC address is bit reversed. • Ethernet 40-60-01-80-40-C0. • Packet size maximum 4472 bytes. Note: Packet size on Cisco switches is 18,190 bytes. 11-3—SNAM—Source-Route Transparent and Source-Route Translational Bridging Copyright © 1998, Cisco Systems, Inc.

Slide 6: How Source-Route Transparent Bridging Works RIF Token Ring Token Ring YES Has RIF ? NO Source route transparent bridging module Transparent bridging module • Router examines Token Ring frame for RIF: – If RIF is present, the frame is source-route bridged. – If RIF is NOT present, the frame is transparently bridged. 11-6—SNAM—Source-Route Transparent and Source-Route Translational Bridging Copyright © 1998, Cisco Systems, Inc. Slide 7: SRT Configuration Tasks A B SRT Transparent Configuration • Define transparent bridge group. • Select spanning protocol. • Assign interface to bridge group. IEEE A B Application without RIFs Source-Route Configuration • Activate ring-bridge-ring connection. • Define SRB spanning bridge group. • Select interface spanning option.

Slide 8: SRT Configuration Router (config) # bridge group-number protocol protocol-type • Selects the spanning-tree protocol Router (config-if) # bridge-group group-number • Assigns an interface to a bridge group 11-8—SNAM—Source-Route Transparent and Source-Route Translational Bridging Copyright © 1998, Cisco Systems, Inc. Slide 9: SRT Configuration (cont.) Router (config) # source-bridge ring-group ring-group • Defines or removes a ring group Router (config-if) # source-bridge local-ring bridge-number target-ring • Specifies a local bridge connection 11-9—SNAM—Source-Route Transparent and Source-Route Translational Bridging Copyright © 1998, Cisco Systems, Inc. Slide 10: SRT Configuration (cont.) Router (config) # bridge bridge-group protocol ibm • Enables the automatic spanning-tree protocol Router (config-if) # source-bridge spanning bridge-group • Activates automatic spanning for an interface 11-10—SNAM—Source-Route Transparent and Source-Route Translational Bridging Copyright © 1998, Cisco Systems, Inc.
