T0008-16F

Release 5.2M

Configuring the PathBuilder S200 Series Switch for Bridging Operation

Note

If STPE Control parameter value is AUTO, this parameter appears.

Bridged Protocols

Range:

None, IP, IPX

Default:

None

Description:

Specify the routable protocols that can be bridged across BROUT 
or BRID links. “None” specifies no routable protocols (IP, IPX) 
will be bridged. “IP” specifies that IP packets can be bridged. 
“IPX” specifies that IPX packets can be bridged.

Note

Any combination of the available selections may be specified by 
summing, such as IP + IPX.
