Source route bridging only works in a token ring environment. The Ethernet
frame doesn't contain a RIF field. Removing these from the configuration
should have no adverse affects.
Hope this helps....

Subject: need help from a dlsw guru
Good morning.
I need help from a dlsw guru. I have entered a client site with an odd
dlsw configuration. I can't determine if the config doesn't make sense, or
if I don't know what I am talking about. It DOES work, but I don't think
it is optimal, and I'd like to clean it up if possible.
The network looks like this:
SNAMainframe---ethernet---Router1---IP---Router2---ethernet---SNAClient
Router 1 actually has several remote peer definitions to different sites.
Here is the config for Router1:
source-bridge ring-group 17
source-bridge transparent 17 19 1 1
dlsw local-peer peer-id 1.1.1.1 group 17 lf 1500
dlsw ring-list 17 rings 17
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 2.2.2.2
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 3.3.3.3
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 4.4.4.4
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 5.5.5.5
dlsw bridge-group 1
Int e0
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
bridge-group 1
Each remote router (Router 2) has the following config:
source-bridge ring-group 27
dlsw local-peer peer-id 2.2.2.2 group 17
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 1.1.1.1 lf 1500
dlsw bridge-group 1
Int e0
ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.0
bridge-group 1
There are no border peers that I can find. There is no token ring in the
network (They say that token ring was long gone before dlsw was ever used).
I can't find the need for the source-bridge commands or the ring lists.
They don't look like they are doing anything. Am I wrong? Couldn't I
remove those with no adverse affects to the config?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
