Configuring Transparent Bridging

Tuning the Transparently Bridged Network

To define a circuit group, use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

 

 

bridge-group bridge-groupcircuit-group

Adds a serial interface to a circuit group.

circuit-group

 

 

 

For circuit groups of mixed-bandwidth serial interfaces, it might be necessary to configure a pause interval during which transmission is suspended to avoid misordering packets following changes in the composition of a circuit group. Changes in the composition of a circuit group include the addition or deletion of an interface and interface state changes. To configure a transmission pause interval, use the following command in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

 

 

bridge bridge-groupcircuit-group

Configures a transmission pause interval.

circuit-group pause milliseconds

 

 

 

For applications that depend on the ordering of mixed unicast and multicast traffic from a given source, load distribution must be based upon the source MAC address only. To modify the load distribution strategy to accommodate such applications, use the following command in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

 

 

bridge bridge-groupcircuit-group

Distributes base load on the source MAC address only.

circuit-group source-based

 

 

 

For an example of how to configure a circuit group, see the “Complex Transparent Bridging Network Topology Example” section later in this chapter.

Configuring Constrained Multicast Flooding

In a transparent bridge, multicast packets are flooded on all forwarding ports on the bridge. For some protocols, it is possible for a bridge to determine the membership of multicast groups, and constrain the flooding of multicasts to a subset of the forwarding ports. Constrained multicast flooding enables a bridge to determine group membership of IP multicast groups dynamically and flood multicast packets only on those ports that reach group members.

To enable constrained multicast flooding, use the following command in global configuration mode:

Command

bridge cmf

Purpose

Enables constrained multicast flooding for all configured bridge groups.
