摘要： A backup CRF VLAN arrangement provides an alternate, redundant path for traffic between undistributed Concentrator Relay Functions (CRFs) located on separate switches interconnected by trunk links of a distributed token ring bridge. The backup CRF virtual local area network (VLAN) arrangement defines a backup network path which may be utilized if a primary active path is not a valid path to a backup network. Notably, the backup network comprises a special type of CRF that is distributed among the switches, but that has only one port active at any given time.
摘要翻译：备份CRF VLAN布置为位于通过分布式令牌环形桥的中继链路互连的单独交换机之间的未分配的集中器中继功能（CRF）之间的流量提供了备用冗余路径。备份CRF虚拟局域网（VLAN）布置定义了备用网络路径，如果主活动路径不是备用网络的有效路径，则可以使用备份网络路径。值得注意的是，备份网络包括分布在交换机之间的特殊类型的CRF，但在任何给定时间只有一个端口处于活动状态。

摘要： A Distributed Ring Protocol (DRiP) arrangement includes a database and protocol for maintaining and distributing information within a distributed token ring (TR) bridge having a logical switch fabric that is distributed over a TR switching network of switches interconnected by trunk links, such as Inters witch Link (ISL) trunks. The DRiP information is used by switches within the ISL switched fabric to determine the status (configured and/or activated) and association (within a switch) of ports of the distributed bridge.

摘要： A distributed token ring (TR) bridge has a logical switch fabric that is distributed over a TR switching network of switches interconnected by trunk links. The distributed TR bridge includes a plurality of TR switches, each having a Bridge Relay Function (BRF) logically coupled to at least one Concentrator Relay Function (CRF). Distribution of the switch fabric essentially comprises logically distributing the BRF function among the network of switches.

摘要： A technique efficiently transports token ring (TR) frames over trunks interconnecting switches of a distributed TR bridge. The TR bridge is characterized by a logical switch fabric that is distributed among the interconnected switches by the trunks, which are preferably interswitch link (ISL) trunks. Each switch includes a Bridge Relay Function (BRF) coupled to a plurality of Concentrator Relay Functions (CRFs) having a plurality of ports for receiving TR frames over TR segments. The BRF and CRF of the distributed TR bridge operate according to a 2-tier switching model wherein each CRF and BRF is assigned an individual virtual local area network identifier. The technique encapsulates the TR frames in a TR-ISL protocol format that accomodates differences in formats of various TR frames and that comports with the 2-tier switching model of the distributed TR bridge.

摘要： An improved spanning tree protocol for use by token ring intermediate devices having one or more Concentrator Relay Function (CRF) entities and associated Bridge Relay Function (BRF) entities. Each CRF and BRF entity preferably includes a spanning tree engine and corresponding database for individually executing an instance of the spanning tree algorithm and is configured to select a different Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) message type for use in executing its respective spanning tree algorithm. The selection of BPDU message type by the CRF and BRF spanning tree engines preferably depends on the routing configuration of the associated CRF. The selection of BPDU message type by the CRF entities assures that they are dropped by legacy intermediate devices and only acted upon by the originating CRF or another CRF coupled thereto. The selection of BPDU message type by the BRF entities assures that they are passed through CRF entities unmodified and yet are acted upon by other BRF entities and/or any legacy intermediate devices coupled to the associated BRF entity.
摘要翻译：一种改进的生成树协议，用于具有一个或多个集中器中继功能（CRF）实体和相关联的中继功能（BRF）实体的令牌环中间设备使用。每个CRF和BRF实体优选地包括生成树引擎和相应的数据库，用于单独执行生成树算法的实例，并且被配置为选择用于执行其相应生成树算法的不同的桥协议数据单元（BPDU）消息类型。由CRF和BRF生成树引擎选择BPDU消息类型优选地取决于相关CRF的路由配置。 CRF实体对BPDU消息类型的选择确保它们由传统中间设备丢弃，并且仅由发起的CRF或耦合到其的另一个CRF进行操作。 BRF实体对BPDU消息类型的选择确保它们未经修改地通过CRF实体，并且被其他BRF实体和/或耦合到相关联的BRF实体的任何传统中间设备操作。
