Type
The Type column of the Master Route Descriptor Table can contain the
following types:
•
Known-<port type> Port <nn>:
— A known route descriptor (bridge) on Port nn.
— Port type = TR: The route descriptor is known at the specified token-
ring port.
— The route descriptor will be present at port nn.
— Port type = STK: The route descriptor is known at a port of another
switch in the stack.
If the route descriptor has occurred as next hop in the RIF of
incoming frames at other ports, it will be present in these
ports too.
•
Unknown:
— The route descriptor has occurred as next hop in the Route Information
Field of incoming frames at one or more ports. The switch has however
not yet learned the location of the route descriptor (bridge) because the
target station has not sent any response frames.
Ports
Ports of the switch whose address table includes this route descriptor.
