3-1 Chapter 3 Operation The 9T122-24 MicroLAN Module pr ovides connectivity between the front panel T oken Ring(s) and the FDDI rings on the backplane (FNB-1 or FNB-2). MMAC-Plus modules connect to either the Internal Network Bus (INB) or the Flexible Network Bus (FNB) bus.
Operation 3-2 T ransparent Bridging T ransparent Bridging is accomplished by building a Sour ce Address T able (SA T) from sour ce MAC/physical addresses and using the SA T to make forwarding decisions.
3-3 Bridging 2. The receiving bridges append their own r oute information to the Route Information Field (RIF) in the MAC frame header and transmit the frame again. 3. Eventually , the original source device receives all of the ARE r eplies from the other end stations on the network.
Operation 3-4 Fle xible Netw ork Bus (FNB) The FNB consists of two dual FDDI networks, the FNB-1 and FNB-2, providing up to 400 Mbps of data bandwidth. These FDDI networks are 100% ANSI FDDI-compliant supporting SMT (version 7.3), MAC, PHY , and PMD standards.
