The function of source-bridge 1 1 2 and source-bridge active 1 1 2
are exactly the same. This represents a release dependent change
in behavior. Both commands enable source route bridging on the
token ring interface. After source route bridging has been enabled
spanning explorers can be enabled using the source-bridge spanning
command.

Note that source-bridge spanning represents a manual spanning tree
(difficult to do and error prone) while bridge 1 protocol ibm and
source-bridge spanning 1 represent automatic spanning tree.
