ARP Source Route

This selection will specify what will occur when bridging ARP packets that are
also source routing explorer frames. The source routing information can either be
stripped or forwarded. Choose one of the following options for this field:

pass-Rif (1)

The ARP frame is bridged as is, with the route discovery
proceeding as expected.

stripRif (2)

The routing information field will be stripped before it is
forwarded. This allows non-source routing (e.g.,
Ethernet) IP hosts to communicate transparently.

passBoth (3)

Both the original source-routed frame and the
transparent equivalent are forwarded. This provides the
maximum connectivity, but adds some network traffic.

none (4)

No translation will be set and the ARP frame will be
bridged as is. This is the same as setting the translation to
pass RIF. None is the default value for this option.

Netbios Source Route

This selection will specify what will occur when bridging Netbios packets that are
also source routing explorer frames. The source routing information can either be
stripped or forwarded. Choose one of the following options for this field:

pass-Rif (1)

The Netbios frame is bridged as is, with the route
discovery proceeding as expected.

stripRif (2)

The routing information field will be stripped before it is
forwarded. This allows non-source routing (e.g.,
Ethernet) Netbios hosts to communicate transparently.

passBoth (3)

Both the original source-routed frame and the
transparent equivalent are forwarded. This provides the
maximum connectivity, but adds some network traffic.

none (4)

No translation will be set and the Netbios frame will be
bridged as is. This is the same as setting the translation to
pass RIF. None is the default value for this option.
