Output Framing Type on Physical Ports
Note that for Ethernet, the default output format option is Ethernet II for IP frames and
802.3 for IPX frames.
You can customize your frame translation settings even further through the Switch menu.
The Switch menu allows you to set translations at the frame format level (i.e., incoming
SNAP
frames could be translated one way, while incoming
LLC
frames could be translated
another way) based on protocol type (
IP
or
IPX
). The Switch menu is explained in Chap-
ter 18, “Configuring
LAN
Switch Translations.”
6) Ethernet 802.2 Pass Through
For Ethernet ports only. If you answer
Yes

IEEE 802.2
format will not be translated according the Output Format Type chosen in line
5; they will be sent as is in their native
IEEE 802.2
format. If you answer
No
, then
802.2
frames will be subject to the Output Format Type chosen in line 5.
