Transparent Bridging Configuration
The PassFinder AP2520 Gateway supports transparent bridging for Ethernet and
serial ports. Also, to manage networks, the PassFinder AP2520 Gateway
supports Bridge MIB that is defined in RFC 1286.
The bridge functions that the PassFinder AP2520 Gateway supports are as
follows:
z
Complying with IEEE 802.1D standard
z
Segmenting transparent bridged network to the logical VLAN
z
The bridge function is supported not only through the Ethernet but also
through the serial network and the frame-relay network.
z
Supporting the spanning-tree algorithm that adopts IEEE-based Bridged
Protocol Data Unit (BPUD)
PassFinder AP2520 series Gateways only support one bridge-group. Therefore,
the concept of the bridge-group is not used.
[Procedure]
Step
Operation
1
Move to the configuration mode.
2
Set option values to use in the bridge.
3
Go to the interface configuration mode.
4
Apply the bridge-group that has been set to the corresponding
interface.
5
For multi-access interfaces including frame-relay, make a map.
6
Apply other bridging option parameters to use.
7
Use “show bridge” or “show span” commands to check if the bridge
has been correctly set and the spanning tree algorithm normally
operates.
