Default

Description

The mode parameter defines the mode of source route bridging. The SHow command displays the current mode. If you select passive bridging, the same ring number must be assigned to all ports with the source route bridging enabled.

The Mode parameter does not apply to SuperStack II NETBuilder bridge/router models 32x and 52x.

Values

IEEE

The explorer frames are modified, and the forwarding path of the specifically routed frames is determined from the routing information (RI) field.

PassiveBridging

All source-routed frames are bridged across the spanning tree paths without examining or updating the source route information in the routing information field (RIF) of the MAC header.
