Using Source Routing Bridge Services

• Assign to third-party routers bridge IDs that differ from Bay Networks source
routing bridge IDs.
If two or more Bay Networks bridges operate in parallel, you must assign
different bridge IDs. You must also specify the other Bay Networks bridge ID in
the entry list for each bridge.
For example, in Figure
2-13, Bay Networks Bridges A, C, and D all have the same
bridge ID (A). However, because Bridges B and C operate in parallel, Bridge B
has a different bridge ID (B). You specify this bridge ID (B) in the Bridge Entry
list for Bridges A, C, and D. This ensures that the bridges know Bridge B is active
on the network. Similarly, you specify the bridge ID (A) for Bridge B on the
Bridge Entry list so that it knows Bridges A, C, and D are active on the network.
