Unknown&Broadcast Forwarding
DeÞnes how frames destined for unknown destination addresses (not in the
bridge database) and broadcast destination addresses are handled when the
frame is transmitted by the Token Ring interfaces. This Þeld is per bridge
interface.
¥
For the
FDDI interface
, the frame cannot be changed. It is Þxed as a
transparent only (TP) network. Therefore, all unknown and broadcast frames
are sent onto FDDI as TP frames.
¥
For the
Token Ring interfaces
, this Þeld is selectable. Table 3 describes what
choices are available and when.

Bridge Method
Unknown & Broadcast Forwarding Choices
TP
TP -
Frames that are destined for an unknown destination
address (not in bridge database) or a broadcast destination
address are forwarded on to the Token Ring(s) as TP frames.
No translation for source routing is performed.
SR
ARE -
Frames that are destined for an unknown destination
address (not in bridge database) or a broadcast destination
address are forwarded onto the Token Ring(s) as All Route
Explorer (ARE) frames. FDDI TP frames are translated to
this type of source routed frame.
STE -
Frames that are destined for an unknown destination
address (not in bridge database) or a broadcast destination
address are forwarded onto the Token Ring(s) as Spanning
Tree Explorer (STE) frames. FDDI TP frames are translated
to this type of source routed frame.
