Figure 2-5. Router Logical Considerations for DLSw Support
The internal LAN is not an actual network, but you must account for it in topology
calculations for SRB environments. The internal LAN also has an associated ID
that you enter when you configure the source routing bridge global parameters for
DLSw operation.
Refer to Configuring Routers or Configuring Bridging Services for more
information on the internal LAN ID.
Count the internal LAN only once per source routing segment. (Ensure that the
Group LAN ID is the same for all Bay Networks routers in the same source
routing segment.)
Counting the DLSw Bridge
Each DLSw peer in your network implements a DLSw bridge between the
internal LAN and the IP virtual ring. (Refer to Figure 2-5.) The DLSw bridge is
part of the router software, not an actual bridge. You must, however, count this as
one bridge in a source routing segment.
