Figure 155. LMS Source Routing Port Parameter

This panel allows you to view and configure the source routing element for
the selected port. This screen can only be used when a valid

bridge number

is assigned to the Multiprotocol Interconnect module. The parameters that
can be configured are:

•

Hop Count

This parameter specifies the maximum number of hops that may be used
in bridging a frame.

•

Local Segment

This parameter allows you to specify the segment number of the LAN to
which this port is attached. If you select

disabled for this parameter,

source-route transparent bridging will be disabled on this port.

•

Largest Frame

This parameter specifies the maximum size of the INFO field that this
port can send and receive. The valid range is 516, 1500, 2052 and 4472.

•

Port STE SpanMode

This parameter specifies the action to be taken on the Spanning Tree
Explorer frames arriving at this port. When set to

disabled, the port

discards all such frames.

Forced means that these frames are accepted

and processed by the port.

Auto-span means that the frames are only

forwarded when the port is in

forwarding state.

All the other parameters on this panel are identical to the parameters
discussed for the

Transparent Bridging Port Parameters.

4. Configure the

STP System Parameters as described for in 11.8.4.1,

“Configuring for Transparent Bridging” on page 262.
