Cyclades-PR4000

In Figure 5.1, an example of the use of an IP Bridge is given. From the available IP addresses, the range 200.240.240.4 to 200.240.240.8 is bridged to another physical location. The following parameters apply only for IP Bridge.

Network Protocol Menu (Continued) -- (IP Bridge)

Parameter	Description
IP Bridge	Activates the IP Bridge functionality.
The following parameters apply only if IP Bridge is Active.
Initial IP Address to	Indicates the start of the range of IP addresses to be transferred to another physical
be Bridged	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.
Ending IP Address to	Indicates the end of the range of IP addresses to be transferred to another physical
be Bridged	location. In the example, this value is 200.240.240.8.
Broadcast Over the	Allows propagation of broadcast IP packets over this bridge.
Link
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 15. The parameters defined in the Routing Protocol and Traffic Control Menus should be set after reading chapters 11 and 14, 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.
