The 9F116-01 can bridge between a front panel connection, FNB-1, and
FNB-2 via two MAC-encoded bridge interfaces. When you open the FNB
Configuration window, the current bridging configuration will be indicated via
color-coded sets of dual lines:
-
Between FNB-1 and FNB-2 (two intersecting sets of dual lines — one set
between FNB-1 and Bridge Interface 2; one set between FNB-2 and
Bridge Interface 1).
-
Between FNB-1 and the front panel ports (one set of dual lines between
FNB-1 and Bridge Interface 1; one set between Bridge Interface 2 and the
front panel ports).
-
Between FNB-2 and the front panel ports (one set of dual lines between
FNB-2 and Bridge Interface 1; one set between Bridge Interface 2 and the
front panel ports).
-
Each network isolated (no connecting lines between FNB-1, FNB-2, and
the Front Panel Ports).
-
A blocked bridged connection used for testing purposes (a single set of
dual lines between two bridged elements: FNB-1 to Bridge Interface 1
or 2, FNB-2 to Bridge Interface 1, or Bridge Interface 1 or 2 to Front Panel
Ports). With this configuration, you can check network traffic isolated to
one bridged segment for troubleshooting purposes before actually passing
frames through the bridge.
