Source-Route Bridging Commands

Source-Route Bridging Commands

This chapter describes the function and displays the syntax for source-route bridging (SRB) commands. For more information about defaults and usage guidelines, see the corresponding chapter of the Bridging and IBM Networking Command Reference.

access-expression

Use the access-expression interface configuration command to define an access expression. Use the no form of this command to remove the access expression from the given interface. You use this command in conjunction with the access-list interface configuration command.

access-expression {in | out} expression
no access-expression {in | out} expression


in | out Either in or out is specified to indicate whether the access expression is applied to packets entering or leaving this interface.
You can specify both an input and an output access expression for an interface, but only one of each.
expression Boolean access list expression.

access-list

Use the access-list global configuration command to configure the access list mechanism for filtering frames by protocol type or vendor code. Use the no form of this command to remove the single specified entry from the access list.

access-list access-list-number {permit | deny} {type-code wild-mask | address mask}
no access-list access-list-number {permit | deny} {type-code wild-mask | address mask}


access-list-number Integer that identifies the access list. If the type-code wild-mask arguments are included, this integer ranges from 200 to 299, indicating that filtering is by protocol type. If the address and mask arguments are included, this integer ranges from 700 to 799, indicating that filtering is by vendor code.
permit Permits the frame.
deny Denies the frame.
type-code 16-bit hexadecimal number written with a leading 0x; for example, 0x6000. Specify either a Link Service Access Point (LSAP) type code for 802-encapsulated packets or a SNAP type code for SNAP-encapsulated packets. (LSAP, sometimes called SAP, refers to the type codes found in the DSAP and SSAP fields of the 802 header.)
wild-mask 16-bit hexadecimal number whose ones bits correspond to bits in the type-code argument. The wild-mask indicates which bits in the type-code argument should be ignored when making a comparison. (A mask for a DSAP/SSAP pair should always be 0x0101 because these two bits are used for purposes other than identifying the SAP code.)
address

48-bit Token Ring address written in dotted triplet form. This field is used for filtering by vendor code.
mask

48-bit Token Ring address written in dotted triplet form. The ones bits in mask are the bits to be ignored in address. This field is used for filtering by vendor code.

no source-bridge transparent ring-group pseudo-ring bridge-number tb-group


ring-group Virtual ring group created by the source-bridge ring-group command. This is the source-bridge virtual ring to associate with the transparent bridge group. This ring group number must match the number you have specified with the source-bridge ring-group command. The valid range is 1 to 4095.
pseudo-ring Ring number used to represent the transparent bridging domain to the source-route bridged domain. This number must be a unique number, not used by any other ring in your source-route bridged network.
bridge-number Bridge number of the bridge that leads to the transparent bridging domain.
tb-group Number of the transparent bridge group that you want to tie into your source-route bridged domain. The no form of this command disables this feature.
