CONFIGURING THE CAMPUS-REX2AS A BRIDGE

A bridge moves information across a network from a source to a destination at the link layer (of an OSI reference model). The information is sent to a physical address known as a Media Access Control (MAC) address. See “MAC-Level Bridging and Spanning Tree Protocol” on page 124 for more information about bridging.

This section describes how to configure the bridge (default setting) options found on the screen shown above for the Campus-REX2, including:

•“Configuring Bridge Protocol, Encapsulation and Timing” on page 31

•“Configuring Bridge Features” on page 32

–“Configuring Spanning Tree Protocol” on page 33

–“Configuring the Bridge Unit IP” on page 38

•“Saving the Bridge Configuration” on page 40

•“Accessing the Bridge and ARP Tables” on page 41
