As shown in
, Router A and Router B are connected with each other over a network.
PC2, PC4, PC5, and PC7 belong to four different LANs (LAN 2, LAN 1, LAN 4, LAN 3) on
different network segments. LAN 1 needs to communicate with LAN 3, and LAN 2 with LAN
4.
Bridges 1 and 2 are created on Router A and Router B, respectively.Ethernet2/0/1 and Serial
1/0/0 on both Router A and Router B are added to bridge 1; Ethernet2/0/2 and Serial 1/0/1 on
both Router A and Router B are added to bridge 2. In this manner, the preceding communication
requirement can be met.
Other types of links, such as Ethernet, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), Asynchronous Transfer
Mode (ATM), can also be used for remote bridging.
To support remote bridging, transparent bridging provides the following functions:
l
Allow Ethernet interfaces, Ethernet sub-interfaces, VLANIF, Serial, Serial sub-interfaces,
VT, Dialer interfaces to be added to bridge groups.
l
Link encapsulation protocols such as Ethernet, PPP, PPPoA, PPPoE and PPPoEoA.
l
802.1Q VLAN ID transparent transmission.
l
Bridging IP and non-IP packets.
NOTE
The AR550 series do not support VT, Dialer, PPP, PPPoA, PPPoE, PPPoA or PPPoEoA.
9.2.4 Integrated Bridging and Routing
Bridge groups connect different LANs at the link layer. Generally, LAN users that need to be
interconnected belong to the same network segment or aggregated network segment. When users
in a bridge group need to access another network, link-layer bridging is unsatisfactory. Integrated
bridging and routing can meet these needs.
