VLAN ID
Numeric ID of the CRF. Possible values are 1 through 1005. Values 1002 through
1005 and 1 are reserved for the default CRFs and BRFs.
VLAN Name
ASCII name associated with the CRF. Up to 32 characters are allowed.
Parent VLAN
Parent to which the CRF belongs.
State
Current state of the CRF. Possible values are Operational and Suspended. CRFs in
operational state are functional. CRFs in suspended state do not pass packets. The
default is operational.
Ring Number
Logical ring number assigned to this CRF. Possible hexadecimal values are auto
and OX001 through OXFFF. The default is auto, meaning that the ring number will
be learned. If the ring number has been learned, the learned ring number will be
prefixed with A.
➽
Note: Forwarding of frames between CRFs in SRB mode is only possible, if the
CRFs know their ring numbers. If you are running the switch in an environment
without other bridges/switches, learning of ring numbers is not possible. Hence
manual configuration of ring numbers is required.
Bridging Mode
Bridging mode for this CRF. Possible values are SRB and SRT. The default is SRB.
Max ARE Bridge Hop Count
Maximum number of hops for all-routes explorer (ARE) frames. Possible values
are 1 through 13. The default is 7.
Max STE Bridge Hop Count
Maximum number of hops for spanning tree explorer (STE) frames. Possible
values are 1 through 13. The default is 7.
TS Connection
This parameter displays the connection attribute assigned to the selected CRF of
Fast Ethernet ports that are connected to the Ethernet cloud. The connection
attribute can be one of the following:
•
Primary connection - for a main connection to the Ethernet cloud (default
value for each CRF). This connection is always forwarding if active.
