RouterA
To support remote bridging, the transparent bridge provides the following functions:
l
Allow Ethernet interfaces, Ethernet sub-interfaces, VLANIF, VT, Dialer, serial, and ATM
interfaces, ATM sub-interfaces, FR interfaces, FR sub-interfaces, MFR interfaces, and
MLPP interfaces to be added to bridge groups.
l
Support link encapsulation protocols, such as Ethernet, PPP, HDLC, FR, and ATM.
l
Support 802.1q VLAN ID transparent transmission.
l
Support bridging IP packets and non-IP packets.
Integrated Bridging and Routing
Integrated bridging and routing processes protocol packets as follows:
l
Bridges protocol packets between member interfaces in a bridge group.
l
Uses Bridge-if interfaces of bridge groups to route packets between LANs on different
network segments.
As shown in
, a bridge group is created on RouterA, a Bridge-if interface is added to
the bridge group and configured with an IP address. IP packet routing and integrated bridging
and routing are enabled. User 1 and User 2 are added to the bridge group, and can use integrated
bridging and routing to communicate with User 3. 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). Router A and Router B are configured with IP packet routing as well as
integrated bridging and routing so that User 1 and User 4 can communicate with each other.
