Configuring the
Central Node for
Boundary Routing
The model 4x7 bridge/router can be used as a central node in a Boundary
Routing environment. SuperStack II NETBuilder SI bridge/routers can be
used as a central node only for Ethernet boundary routers.
The model 5xx bridge/router does not support leaf node Boundary
Routing.
Boundary Routing system architecture treats the remote site as another
central site LAN segment, which allows all routing to occur at the central
site. Boundary routers require very little or no configuration. You must
configure the central site for Boundary Routing by referring to the
following chapters in
Using Enterprise OS Software
:
■
“Configuring Boundary Routing System Architecture”
■
“Configuring Auto Startup”
Configuring
Transparent
Bridging
When transparent bridging is enabled, the bridge forwards packets based
on the destination address in the packets it receives. It also learns and
records information about the location and addresses of devices on the
surrounding networks, based on the source address in the received
packets.
