1.4.1 Describing Bridge-Only Mode Capabilities
The Bridge-Only mode is the default operational mode for the
TRBMIM-T. When in the Bridge-Only mode, the TRBMIM-T serves
exclusively as a source-route bridge in the MMAC for linking separate
Token Rings. It neither automatically segments the FNB backplane nor
performs any of the ring-management functions available when operating
in the optional dual-function Bridge/Management mode.
Bridging Token Rings In The Same MMAC
Figure 1-2 illustrates how the TRBMIM-T can be used to bridge Ring 1
and Ring 2 in the same MMAC. In this configuration the TRBMIM-T’s
FNB port is connected to Ring 2. Its front-panel bridge Station port is
connected to Ring 1 via cable to any lobe port on any MIM on Ring 1.
The TRMMIM is managing Ring 2.
