3. You change an outgoing frame type by entering its line number, an equal sign (=) and a
frame type indicator (
e
,
s
,
2
, or
3
). The frame type indicators represent the following
frames:
e
Ethernet II or Ethertype
s
SNAP
2
802.2 or LLC
3
Ethernet 802.3
For example, if you wanted to translate incoming IPX SNAP frames to LLC frame, then
you would enter
6=2
4. When you are done changing translations, enter
save
to save all of your settings. If you
enter
quit
, you will exit the
trdef
command without saving your changes.
♦
Important Note
♦
The IP Translation Options allow only SNAP (
s
). The
IPX translations allow only SNAP (
s
), and LLC (
2
) for all
frame types. The Ethertype (
e
) and 802.3 translations
are not allowed for Token Ring.
The
trdef
command will accept your input and will not
return an error message if you try to change an IPX
translation option to Ethertype or Ethernet 802.3.
However, that does not mean that the IPX frames are
being translated to Ethertype or 802.3. Regardless of
what the
trdef
screen displays, switch software does not
translate Token Ring frames to Ethertype or 802.3.
