Hi guys,
Here's the situation. I have a router with both an e0 and a to0 on it, and I
want both ports to participate in DLSW, and be able to talk to each other as
well.
I understand how translational bridging works to get from the ethernet to the
token ring. I also know that "dlsw bridge-group X" is required when dealing
with a bridged ethernet port with dlsw, and that dlsw also attaches
automatically to a defined virtual ring in a token-ring environment.
What happens when you mix all those together? What gets defined? the
translational bridging? (source-route transparent...), the "dlsw bridge-group
X"? both?
If you could descrive the path of the source-routed/transparently bridged packe
t
as well, I would much appreciate that. Basically I don't know it the ethernet
hits DLSW first and then appears as a local MAC in the reacheability table and
answers to the TR port when a TR host is looking for an ethernet resource, or
if it gets translationally bridged (if that's a word) and then go from the
virtual ring to the DLSW process.
Thanks for your insight.
Anyone going to the big dance in RTP on 28-29 March?
