Figure 2-5. Translation Bridge Services
The translation bridge service:
• Supports communication between systems on SRB and Ethernet/802.3
segments locally attached to the same router
• Maps between SRB and Ethernet/802.3 framing requirements
Using DLSw Independently of the Translation Bridge
You can use DLSw independently of the translation bridge to allow an
Ethernet-attached device to communicate with a device attached to an SRB
network such as Token Ring. DLSw provides local termination, while the
translation bridge provides the end-to-end connection. The translation bridge
supports the bridge media, while DLSw supports the Ethernet networks.
In (Figure 2-6)
, Router A uses DLSw to convert traffic between the locally
attached Ethernet and Token Ring interfaces. Additionally, the Token Ring and
Ethernet-attached devices can communicate with Ethernet devices attached to
Router C using DLSw.
