sprotoArpSourceRoute

Module: CTATX-MIB

OID (symbolic): CTATX-MIB::sprotoArpSourceRoute

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.17.1.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Specifies whether, when bridging TCP/IP ARP packets which are source-routing explorer frames, the routing information is to be stripped or propagated. If pass- Rif(1), the frame is bridged as is, with route- discovery proceeding as expected. If stripRif(2), then the routing information field is stripped before being propagated. This option allows non-source-routing (e.g., Ethernet) IP hosts to communicate tran- sparently. If passBoth(3), then both the original source-routed frame and the transparent equivalent are propagated. This choice provides maximum connectivity at some expense in network traffic. None(4) is identical to passRif.

This option applies only to token ring ports.

What is sprotoArpSourceRoute?

This read-write enumerated INTEGER controls whether routing information is stripped or preserved when bridging TCP/IP ARP source-routing explorer frames, with passRif keeping the frame as-is, stripRif removing the routing info for transparent hosts, and passBoth forwarding both variants. An admin sets this to stripRif(2) when Ethernet IP hosts on one side of the bridge need to communicate transparently with source-routed Token Ring hosts on the other. Setting sprotoArpSourceRoute to stripRif(2) allows Ethernet-attached IP hosts to resolve ARP requests from Token Ring hosts without needing to understand source-routing information fields.
