Data Link Switching Overview
1-3
DLSw runs on all Bay Networks router platforms using local and wide area
network facilities, including
LAN media, including Ethernet, Token Ring, and Frame Relay
Other LAN media using SRB formats over Ethernet, FDDI, SMDS, Frame
Relay, and Point-to-Point (PPP) protocols
SDLC links in point-to-point and multipoint configurations
You can use DLSw services to support connections between SNA and NetBIOS
systems on one type of network (such as Token Ring/802.5) and systems on
different types of networks (such as Frame Relay).
DLSw Single and Dual Switch-to-Switch Services
Bay Networks routers that you configure to support DLSw services can operate in
two modes:
A DLSw single-switch configuration involving a single local router with two
(or more) interfaces configured for DLSw.
A DLSw dual switch-to-switch configuration involving paired routers each
connected to an intervening TCP/IP network.
A Bay Networks router simultaneously supports both single- and dual-switch
operation. Figure 1-1 illustrates DLSw single-switch and dual switch-to-switch
networks.
Note:
In this manual, the term LAN refers to all source-route-bridge types of
LANs and transparent-bridge Ethernet/802.3 LANs. Source-route-bridge
LANs include, but are not limited to, Token Ring/802.5, FDDI, Ethernet/802.3,
SMDS, Frame Relay, and other synchronous media protocols. See
Configuring
Bridging Services
for more information on the media that source route
bridging supports.
