Installing the AsantéBridge 1012
3
Connect the MAU to the AsantéBridge external port as
shown below.
Figure 1-10 Connecting to the External Port
4
Connect the remaining backbone cable to another MAU,
also with an AUI connector on the other end.
Alternatively, you can prepare the cable with a male BNC
connector.
5
Connect the second MAU to the AsantéBridge hub port ,
which is actually the hub 3in1 port . See Figure 1-10 on
page 1-19 for the location.
6
Power up the AsantéBridge.
The unit automatically begins bridging between the two
segments, building a dynamic forwarding address table as
each device on both segments transmits. You do not need
to configure, program, or modify the AsantéBridge in any
way. All operation is completely automatic.
About Spanning Trees
Although this simple installation procedure does not describe a
spanning tree configuration, there is no difference. If you install
the AsantéBridge in parallel with another bridge implementing the
IEEE 802.1d spanning tree algorithm, it will
automatically begin
to participate in the spanning tree algorithm. You do not need to
take any special steps to prepare or configure the bridge.
