location. This and the next three parameters are repeated in case the bridge is to be

 

broken up into various sections. Up to 8 sections can be defined. In the example, this

 

value is 200.240.240.4.

Indicates the end of the range of IP addresses to be transferred to another physical

Bridge Over Link

Indicates which link forms the other half of the bridge. In the example, link 1 is used.

Other Parameters

Transparent Bridge is covered in chapter 7 and IPX is covered in chapter 13. The parameters defined in the Routing Protocol and Traffic Control Menus should be set after reading chapters 9 and 12, respectively. It is probably best to complete the basic configuration of all router interfaces, then return to the routing protocol and traffic control menus after general routing and traffic control strategies have been defined.
