After local bridging of the transparent bridge has been configured, the bridge group configured
for the transparent bridge is able to:
l
Learn MAC forwarding entries (the mapping relationship between the MAC address and
interface) by default.
l
Be configured with static and blackhole MAC entries.
l
Be enabled with or disabled from dynamic MAC entry learning.
l
Be configured with the aging time for dynamic MAC entries.
l
Bridge all packets by default, including IP and non-IP packets.
Remote Bridging
Remote bridging allows LANs at different geographic locations to communicate with each other.
The intermediate network two bridged devices (on which bridge groups are created) can be an
Ethernet or a non-Ethernet network.
As shown in
, User 1, User 2, and User 3 belong to LAN 1; User 4, User 5, and User
6 belong to LAN 2. Two bridged devices are connected to the intermediate network using
Ethernet links or non-Ethernet links (such as PPP, HDLC, MP, FR, ATM, or MFR). When
remote bridging is enabled, hosts in LAN 1 and LAN 2 can communicate with each other.
