remote addbridge
Defines the remote router entry as the default bridging destination for outbound
bridging. The command can define either the default bridging destination for all MAC
addresses or the default bridging destination for a specific MAC address.
When you specify a MAC address on this command, a permanent entry for that
address is created in the bridging table. Thereafter, packets that contain that MAC
address are bridged using the specified remote router entry. (To see the entries in the
bridging table, use the bi list command.)
NOTE:
Bridging using the specified remote is effective only after it has been enabled using
the
remote enabridge
command. To see the current bridge settings for a remote, use
the
remote listbridge
command. To remove the default designation from a remote, use
the
remote delbridge
command.
If IP and IPX routing are disabled, all packets, with an unknown destination, are
bridged to the default bridging destination. If IP and/or IPX routing is enabled, bridging
occurs only for packets that are not routed.
