Introducing the HP 10:10 LAN Bridge MB

The HP 10:10 LAN Bridge MB (28673A) is a “media-speed” network bridge that connects two

independent IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet local area networks (LANs) to create one logical extended

LAN. This extended LAN gives you direct access to all compatible resources on the two

LANs. Figure 1-1 depicts a simple extended LAN using the HP 10:10 LAN Bridge MB.

The bridge performs these functions:

Extends communications beyond the length limitations of a single LAN.

Provides data packet filtering that inhibits the flow of unnecessary 802.3/Ethernet data

packets (MAC frames) from one network to another, eliminating the waste of valuable

bandwidth.

Provides parity checking and improved data integrity by verifying the cyclic

redundancy checksum (CRC) for each frame received.

For more detailed information on how the bridge performs its functions, see chapter 6, “How

the Bridge Works”.

Introducing the HP 10:10 LAN Bridge MB 1-1

Features

The HP 10:10 LAN Bridge MB has these features:

Filters and forwards packets as fast as the network can operate (media-speed

performance).

Automatically learns the addresses and locations of the nodes on the attached LANs.

Has a configurable address table that holds up to 512 station addresses (also called

MAC addresses, Ethernet addresses, or physical addresses).

Has a secure mode to control communications between nodes.

Supports the IEEE 802.1 spanning tree protocol for networks with multiple paths

between nodes.

Has 128 Kbytes of memory for buffering packets.

Automatically recovers from power failure while maintaining its configuration.

Has LEDs on the front and back that are easy to read and interpret.

Has both AUI and BNC connectors, enabling attachment to thin coax, thick coax,

fiber-optic, or twisted-pair LAN media.

Automatically detects which port 1 connector, AUI or BNC, is being used.

Has an RS-232-C port for connecting a console to customize the bridge’s configuration,

to monitor bridge activity and status, and to run diagnostic tests. Console access can be

either local, by attaching an ASCII terminal or PC directly to the console port, or

remote, by attaching a modem to the console port.

Has a power supply that automatically adjusts to the voltage range of the ac power being

supplied to the bridge (90-120 volts or 200-240 volts). No voltage range setting or fuse

change is needed.

Has a factory assigned station address allowing the bridge to respond to 802.2 Test

packets. The bridge can also be configured with an IP address and can respond to an

ICMP Echo Request message (also called “Ping”).
