P-202H Plus v2 Support Notes

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Bridging Control Protocol (BCP) specifies a
number of Configuration Options which are distinguished by an 8 bit Type field.
These Types are assigned as follows:

Type Configuration Option
-------------------------------------------------------------
1 Bridge-Identification
2 Line-Identification
3 MAC-Support
4 Tinygram-Compression
5 LAN-Identification
6 MAC-Address
7 Spanning-Tree-Protocol

PPP BRIDGING MAC TYPES

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Bridging Control Protocol (BCP) contains an 8
bit MAC Type field which identifies the MAC encapsulated. These Types are
assigned as follows:

Type MAC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 Reserved
1 IEEE 802.3/Ethernet with cannonical addresses
2 IEEE 802.4 with cannonical addresses
3 IEEE 802.5 with non-cannonical addresses
4 FDDI with non-cannonical addresses
5-10 reserved
11 IEEE 802.5 with cannonical addresses
12 FDDI with cannonical addresses

PPP BRIDGING SPANNING TREE

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Bridging Control Protocol (BCP) Spanning
Tree Configuration Option contains an 8-bit Protocol field which identifies the
spanning tree used. These are assigned as follows:

Protocol Spanning Tree
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 Null - no spanning tree protocol supported
1 IEEE 802.1D spanning tree protocol
2 IEEE 802.1G extended spanning tree protocol
3 IBM source route spanning tree protocol
