3. You change an outgoing frame type by entering its line number, an equal sign (=) and a

frame type indicator (

e

,

s

,

2

, or

3

). The frame type indicators represent the following

frames:

e

Ethernet II or Ethertype

s

SNAP

2

802.2 or LLC

3

Ethernet

802.3

For example, if you wanted to translate incoming IPX SNAP frames to LLC frame, then
you would enter

6=2

4. When you are done changing translations, enter

save

to save all of your settings. If you

enter

quit

, you will exit the

trdef

command without saving your changes.

Important Note

The IP Translation Options allow only SNAP (

s

). The

IPX translations allow only SNAP (

s

), and LLC (

2

) for all

frame types. The Ethertype (

e

) and 802.3 translations

are not allowed for Token Ring.

The

trdef

command will accept your input and will not

return an error message if you try to change an IPX
translation option to Ethertype or Ethernet 802.3.
However, that does not mean that the IPX frames are
being translated to Ethertype or 802.3. Regardless of
what the

trdef

screen displays, switch software does not

translate Token Ring frames to Ethertype or 802.3.
