a3ComBrgAppleCtl
Module: A3COM-BRIDGE-R3-MIB
OID (symbolic): A3COM-BRIDGE-R3-MIB::a3ComBrgAppleCtl
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.9.1.6
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: This object enables the bridge to forward AppleTalk packets between Ethernet, FDDI, and token ring networks. The AppleTalk packets require encapsulation over FDDI networks. If AppleTalk packets are to be translated the same way as other Ethernet packets are translated, this parameter must be disabled (2).
If this object is enabled, the original format of both AT-1 (Ethernet) and AT-2 (SNAP) packets are preserved when bridging between Ethernets over an FDDI backbone. If this is disabled, AT-2 packets are converted to Ethernet format before going across the FDDI backbone.
What is a3ComBrgAppleCtl?
This read-write integer controls whether the bridge forwards AppleTalk frames across Ethernet, FDDI, and token ring networks with format preservation. Enabling AppleTalk bridging (value 1) maintains the original frame format when translating between media types, critical for legacy networks. Setting this to 1 on a multi-media bridge ensures AppleTalk traffic preserves its encapsulation across Ethernet and FDDI segments.
