2.4.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring local bridging integrated with IP routing, familiarize yourself with the
applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for
the configuration. This will help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
To allow LAN users in the same geographical location and on the same network segment to
communicate with each other, you can enable local bridging. To allow LAN users in the same
geographical location but on different network segments to communicate with each other, you
need to enable local bridging integrated with IP routing.
The integrated routing function uses Bridge-if interfaces for routing packets.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring local bridging integrated with IP routing, complete the following task:
l
Configuring physical parameters for interfaces to ensure that the interfaces are physically
Up
Data Preparation
To configure local bridging integrated with IP routing, you need the following data.
No.
Data
1
Number of a bridge group
2
Numbers of interfaces to be added to the bridge group
3
IP address of the Bridge-if interface that represents the bridge group
2.4.2 Creating a Bridge Group
A bridge group is a virtual group. It can forward packets only after interfaces have been added
to the group.
Procedure

Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
Run:
bridge
bridge-id
A bridge group is created and the bridge group view is displayed.
