1 Introduction
1.1 The Router Module
The Router module is a component of the Series 8000 range of X.25
switches.
It provides an IP Routing function which allows transparent routing of IP
frames between the local Ethernet network and remote IP Ethernet
networks via a Series 8000 network. The IP Routing function can support
the routing of all the upper layers of the TCP/IP protocol suite.
The module also provides a gateway function allowing interconnection
between Series 8000 and TCP/IP Ethernet networks.
Physically it comprises a plug-in card which fits into a Series 8000 PSE
taking up a single slot. Connection to the Ethernet 10 Mbps LAN is
through a direct ''tap'' into the LAN cable.
