To enable bridging, enter:

SETDefault -BRidge CONTrol = Bridge

To customize your bridge, see Using Enterprise OS Software.

Managing the If you want to access the bridge/router remotely using Telnet or FTP, Bridge/Router assign an IP address to port 0 using:

SETDefault !0 -IP NETaddr = <IP address>

CAUTION: Do not set an IP address for port 0 if you are using IP routing on the bridge/router.

Per-Port Transparent After enabling transparent bridging on all ports, you can enable or

Bridging disable transparent bridging on specified ports using:

SETDefault!<port>-BRidgeTransparentBRidge=TransparentBRidge

Configuring IP Routing

This section contains the following information:

■Assigning Addresses and Enabling IP Routing

■Configuring Static Routes

■Learning Routes with OSPF

■Configuring Route Redundancy

■Assigning Addresses Automatically from BOOTP Servers

To fine-tune your IP router, including configuring an Internet firewall or network address translation, see Using Enterprise OS Software.

To use IP, each device on the network must have a unique IP address. To route IP, the bridge/router must have an IP addess assigned to each LAN, WAN, or virtual port.

After assigning IP addresses and enabling IP routing, the bridge/router must use a routing table to identify other routers on the network to send data to. You can create the routing table manually by entering the IP address of each connected router, or you can use a dynamic routing protocol, such as OSPF, that builds the routing table automatically.
