Overview

The DECbridge 90 unit offers a reliable, high-performance, easy-to-install means

of connecting two local area networks (LANs). Conﬁgured as a standalone unit

or in the DEChub 90 backplane, the DECbridge 90 provides greater network

reliability and efﬁciency by allowing the local area network to be partitioned into

a number of smaller LANs.

Features

The following list summarizes the main features of the DECbridge 90:

• Easy-to-use

• Plug-and-go installation

• Activity LEDs for easy diagnosis

• Small size

• Rack-mountable in DEChub 90

backplane

• Frame ﬁltering and frame forwarding

at full network throughput

• Protocol ﬁltering

• Support of spanning tree algorithm

• Management through Maintenance

Operations Protocol (MOP) console

carrier

• Support of Remote Bridge Management

Software (RBMS)

• ThinWire and 15-pin AUI Ethernet

interfaces

Overview 1–1

Description

The DECbridge 90 is a specialized LAN device that connects two Ethernet or

IEEE 802.3 LANs to form a single extended local area network (Figure 1–1).

One LAN, referred to as the backbone, can consist of an unrestricted number of

stations. The other LAN, referred to as the work group, is usually the smaller

of the two LANs and is optimized for LANs of fewer than 200 stations. When the

work group consists of fewer than 200 stations, the DECbridge 90 automatically

prevents unnecessary trafﬁc from being transmitted from one LAN to the other.

When there are more than 200 stations in the work group, the DECbridge 90

enters ﬂood mode, which reduces the effectiveness of the trafﬁc isolation,

but ensures full connectivity across the bridge. (Refer to Chapter 4 for more

information about ﬂood mode.)

The DECbridge 90 provides the network manager with additional control over

trafﬁc distribution through protocol ﬁltering and repeater management features.

All stations connected within the extended LAN communicate with one another

as if they were all on the same LAN. The connected LANs will work in networks

using equipment designed to be compatible with the Ethernet or IEEE 802.3

standards. The DECbridge 90 connects to the work group using a ThinWire

(10Base2) integral transceiver. The backbone connections are made through a

15-pin AUI Ethernet (10Base5) interface.

Figure 1–1 shows a sample DECbridge 90 connection.
