Follow-Up Reading

I have cited the Perlman text earlier, and I recommend it to you for excellent descriptions of bridging and other routing operations. Of course, there is no substitute for the actual standards, and the IEEE specifications have been cited earlier in the book. For readers wishing to delve into detail about bridges and how to configure bridges, consult your vendor’s user manuals. If you do not have access to these manuals, I recommend a book from the Cisco IOS Reference Library titled: Cisco IOS Bridging and IBM Network Solutions, by Cisco Press (available from Cisco or Macmillian Technical Publishing).
