ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for allocating at least one identifier known as routing identifier to at least one bridge of a network, the bridge comprising at least two interconnection equipment a first of which is connected to at least one first part of the said network, characterized in that each one of the interconnection equipment of the said bridge being in a “state” determined by reference to the allocation of an identifier to this interconnection equipment, the method includes the steps of determination of at least one “state” which corresponds to the “state” of the at least one second interconnection equipment of the bridge, and deciding as to the allocation of an identifier to the at least one first interconnection equipment of the bridge as a function of the at least one determined “state”.
