Conﬁguring

transparent bridging on port 2. LCM responds:

Port 2 bridging: SRT (segment = 1 bridge = 9)

To change the bridging functions for a port, re-issue the bridge

command (as described above), using the new option. To set the

segment number, use the

srsegment command and to set the bridge

number use the

srbridge command. The default value for the

bridge and segment numbers is 0 (zero).

Note: In order to accomplish routing tasks, the ATX must be configured

to recognize hexadecimal references. For instance, to route using

IPX, a Novell Network Number must be used for configuration

purposes. The Novell Network Number, entered in hexadecimal

format, identifies thenode by the combination of the MAC layer

address of its network interface: either its router port or Network

Interface Card (NIC). To determine the hexadecimal number from

a network number, refer to figure 3-2 below.

3.1.2 Displaying Bridging Functions

To display the bridging functions that are enabled for all ports:

1. Type: bridge

LCM responds with a list of all ports and the bridging

functions that are enabled. For example:

Usage: bridge [PORT-RANGE

[{off|transparent|sr|srt}

Decimal: 6240

Hexidecimal: 1860

To determine the Novell Network

Number, combine the 4 byte network

number with the 6 byte MAC layer

address:
